I so want everything to turn out just perfect for you. Although I know, perfect is hard to come by, and hard to hold on to.

Thank you, UtahJay
My upbringing is responsable - my foster grandma taught us to not dwell on bad situations - to bite the bullet and keep on keepin' on. With a smile - makes things much easier.

On est bilingue, mon bro!
A weekend would be difficult with the doggies, but am seriously thinking about zipping down for a day. With wipers that work this time.

My fear, and that of my other children
is that she'll do it again. And, of course, I'll be here for the rug rats if they need me. But yes, I have no choice but to look out for myself at the moment. Thanks Naut.

I hear you, Ciel.
Unfortunately, betrayal is what floors me the most. But I'll get over it - always do.

Thanks, Katray2.
Wouldn't the days be long if they were all only negative? It's ok for a bit to shake things up now and then...but not too long!

Thank you, FSI.
Things do have a way of working out, you're right. Comes back to the old 'everything happens for a reason'"

Start with the fact you are a success as a mum who pointed out the way to go and stood your ground for you. Proud of you sis even as we worry and maybe a weekend here with us would be helpful, we love you. Thanks for your compliment on my French, I do try, and can write it well enough to have issued many invoices and technical information on printing equipment repairs.

Of course you must concentrate on yourself! I just hope that those three lovely little rug rats will now get the stability they need, instead of falling victim again to madame's whims...

Everyone hates to be fooled or deceived, and no one wants to be referred to as gullible. But sometimes in life you must take certain chances, and hope for the best. Keep fightin'!

Damn right, it's about you!
Not all of it, but a significant piece of it is most certainly about you! You have every right to focus on yourself for a while!
And remember, there is a better place After. for those who trust than for those who betray.

I guess there are some behaviours in us and in those around us that we
just never will be able to fathom. But that's the mystery of life that will keep us going.

LOL - CCT, I've always said if I could do it over, I'd be in clover too!
But, truthfully, I doubt it. I'm kind of wondering how I can make this house pay. It is huge, but badly set up for anything but a family. Still there must be some way...I'll have to work my brain to come up with a solution that I can live with. I really don't want to continue in accounting if I can help it. We shall see....

Oh my, Justi!! A condo in the city?? Not for me - country blood here!
Anyway, most cities have bans on pit-bulls. My son's problem right now is that he is still madly in love with a self-centered 'imp', as you so rightly named her in your comment on my last post. He'll have to learn on his own, pay his own consequences. But that kind of love is stronger than anything. As for the rest of my family - my other DIL has unfriended her on FB, is very upset, as are my oldest son and daughter. At the same time, they are giving me suggestions, and are waiting to see what their usually creative mother will come up with now! Thank you for caring...the rage of both you and Kabu has actually helped to calm mine down!

Sweet Kabu - I am still much luckier than most - they are well and happy.
As I know my son, I imagine he is feeling very down about the whole thing - but she is his lady, and I know he does love her. He has to do what is best for HIS family, and has faith that I will understand and go on, because I've always taught him to do just that. No - right now I will have to help myself - I won't fall into her trap again.

Sadly Adnohr when money is involved sympathy goes out of the window.In ten years time those little rugs will be spreading their wings. It is not unusual for children to press their parents to safeguard collateral as you know. I don't think they realise it is your life that must be carved into slices. If it were me would keep couple of clients just as a base,
it is harder to climb back on board these days and I don't think it would interfere with your writing. One day long way into the future you might remember, the decisions will be yours, many things happen you cannot re-run your own life. You may even meet a nice guy, they are around, but for goodness sake make sure he is solvent and generous, keep your options open and don't get fooled by sweet talk. Goodness if I were a woman I would be living in clover.

This is too blatantly cruel to even contemplate having any discussion about any will or gifts to any of them presently. Sell the place, get a lovely huge dog friendly condo in the city and don't tell them where you are for at least 6 months. You have got to get some meanness in your veins. We love you and know you are not a person who deserves this treatment. I cannot imagine you are worrying about your grown up son. He deserves to have a lashing right now. One cannot treat a mother in such a manner.

I am so angry still for you. asctually it is about you for you have been
through too much these last years for one dear loving person to cope with.You deserved a pity party these couple of days.....But Now....go back to your last Post OK....and read what Justi wrote....OK and take it to you as the truth. and if they want you to help them out...make a written contract signed and in front of witnesses. Your daughter comes to mind.

You want them happy. If they are, then the rest will be okay.
But I feel sad about the disappointment you feel. {{{}}} There's a new year coming, perhaps a new job, good work, a new tenant.
