L, I'm am very sorry to hear that the kids are now out in CA. It's very evident that they are not enjoying themselves. I'm very concerned about your daughter and her complaints about her back....it's not the running shoes...it's most likely her medical condition. What is it going to take for him to seek medical attention for her? Her heart or kidneys give out? As for your son...taking care of his grandfather? Sounds to me like they are in a slave labor camp.
L, it's not you that he's targeting for misery....he's targeting his kids as well. He's reliving his youth and is taking out his revenge on all of you for what he went through. I hope and pray that your son doesn't lose his temper and take out his revenge on his father in some form of violence. He's vey close and walking a thin line of being pushed too far.
Your daughter is dealing with the situation by not eating again. It's the only control she feels that she has over her life right now and this scares me right to death.
As for you, you've got to take care of yourself. You are the only saving grace and life line those kids have to sanity and the finish line of runing away from him and that wife of his. Please listen to your doctor and and try to focus on the future.
You know where I am if you need to reach out and talk to someone.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
