To Kalni...my kids are 6 and, today, my son is 9. Happy Birthday!!! We will have a small cake for him today. Tomorrow I arranged a one hour pitching lesson with a retired pro with his cousin from across the street. Then, dinner at his favorite place (yes, iHOP), then cake and family party at my sis' house. My kids know we are going thru a divorce. My son appears adjusted to this. My daughter was trying to get us back together but this behavior has stopped. We had about 8 sessions of family counseling and the FC has discharged the kids but wants STBXW and I to return in late September (separate days).

To 25...I see in your sig it now says 'busted'. True? Wow. Congrats on that. As for your MIL, I am sorry about that. My aunt...my father's sister...is presently near death at age 90. She ignored a breast CA. After that...there are only 3 others in our family then....WE are on deck. If there is anything I can do to help, let me know. As for my BIL....I wonder what's going on. After thinking about this for a week or so, I think that STBXW is in cahoots with him against my sister and I. I also believe that they may have met to discuss financial strategies with regards to our two houses. My older sister was the money earner in that relationship and, as such, is getting hammered. He is torturing her.

Kerry...thanks for hangin' in here.

Finally, my dishes got piled up in the sink. Yesterday, she took them out and stacked them on my bills and papers in the kitchen.
