I am so sorry that your FIL cannot see what he is doing in his relationships. It's admirable that he will want to be in a nursing home and not to burden anyone but still. And this makes me think that I better be really nice to my children, especially when they are much older and can make a substantial contribution to my life. They contribute to my life such joy and challenges but you know what I mean.

As for my side of the family, I have asked that I not be bothered for a while but that I have forgiven the comment made to me. And I also demoted myself to become just a member instead of the owner of the yahoo family group we have for my dm and all her siblings and their children and relatives. I just need some time to myself and though I know how important it is to "keep bridges", there is still a time in one's life when being left alone serves them better than being with company that just brings the worst out of them. I love my family and appreciate them, but they can definitely take me for granted and that hurts.

Anyway, it's FRIDAY! TGIF everyone!

Okidoki....hugs from LovedMom
