I am sorry to hear about the tragedy and the young man. A few weeks ago a 16 year old in our little Town was killed instantly in a car crash. He was the Town's all star athlete, a really nice kid.
1000 people went to his funeral....we only have 2500 in our Town.
My D9 is friends with his younger brother, and he is having a very hard time with it, which has really put a strain on my Daughter.
Each time my S21 leaves in the car, she gets very anxious. Things really affect our children in ways we can not imagine.
Just like the MLCBS, and the way in which our children are affected by all of the antics.
I am so glad to hear that your Dad spoils your Daughter. Kids really need someone to turn to during the hard times. It is wonderful you have this support.
A few times during MLC my Husband also did some nice things for me, and it made me very uncomfortable.
One Easter he sent gifts to the children, and even sent me some chocolates and some special coffee. I was very confused, but Snodderly just told me to accept the gifts gracuiously and enjoy them and say thank you.
On one of his rare visits home( we saw him for a total of 12 days during the course of 18 months) he bought groceries. The whole time all I kept thinking was that he was going to deduct the money he spent from the money he was supposed to give me.
And when we went out for dinner as a "family" I brought my own money with just in case he decided not to pay for me.
It is strange how our thinking changes and how we react to things when they are in MLC.
Maybe it is easier when they live far away from home, as they can't intrude and invade as easily. Both scenarios are difficult, but at least I knew he couuldn't just show up uninvited at the house and there was no chance of ever running into him locally.
Sorry for the ramble on your thread, but each time I read your posts they remind me so much of my Husband's crisis.
Have a blessed weekend,
((((((hugs)))))
There can be no testimony without a test. I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.
