Interesting? Well, that's one way to put it. I just really think he has a comfort zone with me from long shared history. That is fine with me. I am very concerned for my nephew and Gabe knows that. He called me again last night to tell me that the poor kid has been admitted to the pediatric psych ward at UCLA med center. My former MIL is beside herself with worry and the family is in an uproar.

Oh, I understand his family, just can't be too involved in it. Why? Well let's see:

Alcoholic, neurotic mother
nacissistic cheating father
convict uncles (very plural - San Quentin for 2 of them)
Gang banger cousins
book smart-street stupid PHD sister (the mother of my nephew)
crazy actress sister (yes, she's seen in TV and movies)

They are the complete and total opposite of my family. It was always one of the reasons I put for Gabe seeking me out. He was looking for normalcy and found it in my huge, loving, supportive family. I think he misses it.

The broom can feel whatever she wants. I frankly could care less if she's not too happy about him contacting me. The only thing I'm certain about is that there can be no 'reconnect' of my emotions toward him. There is no backward. He made this mess and I have to live with the consequences of it.....so does he. My life is fine. Not good, but fine....for now. I'm working hard at making it better but it will be an eternal work in progress.

Lola.....you have to let me know when exactly you will be in GA. I so hope we can meet up. You coming in on I20 or flying in? I'm just 25 miles south of the Atlanta airport if that gives you a good frame of reference.
