Oh my, bel,
What in the fricken frack is going on???!! I know I've been gone for a while, and so I'll have to read and catch up. My goodness, I am so sorry for your troubles. I can tell by having read so many of your posts how much your family means to you. I'll keep you, Pam, Carl, and of course his mom and siblings in my prayers. My goodness. This could be a page out of my family's book, so I do feel your pain, unfortunately. No sympathy. Just empathy and prayers and thoughts. God bless you.

Bel -
I'm sorry for your troubles, but perhaps they were necessary for you to begin loving yourself. I'm glad that process has started.

bel--
I think I know why you are there (primarily for Pam) but why on earth would Carl want to live anywhere near that beastly woman? I wish you and Pam could just go somewhere else--to my state maybe!

I KNOW you commented somewhere along the way and now I can't find your comment. I got rid of AOL as I find Blogit a better investment to my sanity these days. If you want to email me, feel free to use the one here and I'll email back.
How are the babies? Is Rocky keeping Furby in his place?

Re: bel
Naut,
NO, not all MIL's! I have seen some wonderful, loving women that have given thier childrens spouse an additional mother and make their lives even better than before. I wish I had one of those. I also wish these wonderful ladies gave lessons to the others.

Re: Bel
Taps,
It sounds to me like you love your children and the people that they love dearly and you go out of your way to make them feel welcome and loved. You obviously leanred how not to be from your MIL, I pray that I can apply the lessons as beautifully as you have when the time comes.

Re: I could NEVER live in the same state as my in-laws!
Temple, I believe being faithful is a part of it but I also believe that means putting that person above all others (Children are an exception to that rule). I would never and oddly enough still won't tolerate anyone bad-mouthing Carl or treating him like dirt. My family has always known that I would accept nothing less than them treating Carl with respect. I simply expected the same of him.
A friend of mine commented last night, that Carl has never had a shortage of people to kick him when he was down in his family and that is accurate but there comes a point when you have to put the family that you promised to love and cherish above all of that garbage.
I hope you are doing OK, if you need anything just drop me an email, I am always here.

Re: Hang in there
You have no idea how much that means to me. I am holding my own for the most part but somedays it just helps to know that there is someone out there who cares enough to listen.

Wow Bel you poor dear...you have been through a lot. But I like your
positive and healthy attitude. And I love the pics of you and Pam..she does look like you and I'm sure she will grow up to be just as beautiful as her mother. I'm so glad you're back!

it looks like yours is giving all MIL's a bad name, LOL. But what comes through loud and clear is that you are handling yourself and your life admirably well, and that is truly gratifying...

I'll never understand why MIL's would want to be like that. Mine also was and I give her credit for finally causing the demise of our 30-year marriage. I held on for way too long and the last ten years was miserable in many respects. I'm glad that you are taking care of yourself.

I could NEVER live in the same state as my in-laws!
I shudder the thought. It's bad enough that my sister-in-law is on my myspace page... lol. I'm sorry I've been out of touch. After that last phone call, it's all been a rollercoaster. I know you understand. I'm going back and forth with one foot out the door and trying to make it work myself, so I praise your new found commitment to yourself. I've decided to do that know matter what I do or where I am. I hope things go better for you and for Pam. I thought forsaking all others was regarding being faithful? In any case, you're right, he and Pam should be you're first priority. All the best.

Nope, I moved out of Gregory in March and now I live in the Upper Peninsula (hence the name of my blog as I now live near Paradise, Michigan).
