Summer 2009

[Between Tears]

I now have my appointment, July 2. So my situation is moving along nicely.

S on the other hand, on Tuesday night, decided to get his father's attention AND make his point clear. Dick, was not thrilled with the birds, but only took his feelings out on S.... Just the same way his father did when he was young. While he was still in TN, he called S, who forgot to ignore his calls, was asked "So what are the birds all about?" S answered "because I wanted a pet." Apparently, it's Jane that has the problem with the birds...

Later that evening, S took the truck with Dick's debit card which he left for S to have the vehicles "smogged" (some test they have for vehicles in Cali) and filled the truck with gas, then finding out mid month, Dick has no money left in his acount, and at least two more weeks before he'd get paid. S had to use the money I sent to him to pay the fuel bill, and this made him even angrier, decided to drive around until he cooled off before returning home.

S received two calls from Dick for him to return to the house, and the third call, S answered and told him he'd go back when he was good and ready and not a minute before. Mind you, this is the most attention Dick has given him since his arrival on May 9th. S also told him that he sick and tired of being in Cali, sick and tired of wasting his life here and wants to go home. Dick told S he doesn't have a home in KS, and he was going to stay there. This of course didn't make S happy.

On Wednesday, S and D picked up Dick at the airport, Dick brought D to the Doctors, but not for her back, but for an incident she had weeks ago nearly passing out. The findings so far is that she is hypoglycemic.... something we had discovered some 3 or 4 years ago... but of course, Dick wouldn't listen to anything I would tell him. Now he sees she has some dinner. Her back still remains a mystery.

Dick is using credit cards to make it through, even took the kids out to dinner last night for sushi.... how he has credit cards only 3 years after his bankruptcy, or even been able to buy his home, I'll never know... don't care even, but it seems that he just won't learn. His house in Cali is $150,000 more than the mortgages on the farms... yet he said he couldn't afford to keep it with his income. I wish there was something I could do to expose this lies, and what he is actually doing, but I'm afraid he's too good at manipulating everybody and everything.

Today S had to run to the store to get milk. Gone only 20 minutes... while he was gone, Grandpa emptied the refridgerator on the floor, dumping every jar he could open. S had a mess to clean up when he got back, and he wasn't too happy about when he called me to vent.

Dick wants S to go with Jane when she comes back here to pick up her kids to bring them to california. S says he is going for the ride out, but he isn't going to return to cali. I'm not sure what he has planned, but he sounded certain about his decision. I think the trip is scheduled for next week... we will see what happens.
