OMG, Barb. I knew things were stressful, but I had no idea that your entire family was auditioning for Maury! Holy doo doo of epic proportion!
I don't know what to say. Your SIL? Wow. Your Dad's GF? Wowsa. Chuck? I'm falling over in my chair floored. I feel so bad for Ashley. That's just so awful, and words can't even find a way to my keyboard. I honestly can't come up with any words that might offer support or comfort. That is some crazy sh!t.
But I'll offer you an e-hug. I'm glad you updated. This isn't the type of stuff you share on FB. I'm super glad that Josh is supportive. That's the one thing in your narrative that seems awfully right. Good for you.
Hugs, Bets
