When I was at the Wal Mart ran into H's Uncle and his wife (not either's first marriage), they own a Dry Cleaners business in town and then the uncle's son also runs a tire business up by Kansas City for them. We hadn't seen them together for a very long time, they usually have a summer family picnic and they didn't this year and the rumor, from the barber shop, yes H heard it as the barber shop as the barber cuts hair for a lot of H's Uncles, was that they had split. We knew that they were having problems with the son, he was losing lots of money in the tire business. The wife was having to drive up there almost daily and she was having issues with her step son. It was causing problems for her and H's Uncle. She didn't look very good when I saw them today, but H's Uncle asked if H was at work, and how everyone was. I gave him the good old response. Everyone is great. H's Uncle had made lots of money working his way up through the railroad, and was a parter in one in the South before he sold it and moved back to Kansas and started the Dry Cleaning places and then the tire shops. I really hope they do work it out. It might give me a bit of hope too. It was upsetting to H when he found out about them, it was right after everything started with us, and it did upset us both about them. They always seemed so happy -Just like us- Their circumstances were different because of issues with the son. Although at first H tried to say part of our problems were from SD. When H had talked to her before and she had told him about all problems the son was causing with the business. H told her it is fine line when you are dealing with your spouses kids. He knew how hard it was for me to not discipline but have to deal with SD all these years. Granted their situation involved lots of money and the son is an adult, but it is still a hard situation to be in. I was going to call H and tell him that they were together, but figure I will wait until I see him.
Still can't believe that last thread went to 30! WOW!!
