Happy belated Birthday, Irish! I'm happy to hear that you are in a better place this year.

It is so true about the script. Most MLCer follow it to a tea, it amazing how similar the stories are. Even before the BD, my H mentioned so many times that he wanted to live off the grid, with no phone, no computer, with no bills, in a cheap place, etc. And, yes, he wanted to party like a teenager... It took a few years for him to get back to having "stuff" again, which includes iPhone, iPad and yes, still a computer. I wonder if he remembers what he was saying about leaving off the grid.

Your W is like a teenager, keeps pushing the buttons, hoping that one day she will get what she wants without doing any work. Eventually she will learn that this will not work and she actually needs to make some changes. I'm waiting for that day, Irish. Your Ds deserve a humble apology and a real effort from their Mother to repair what she broke.

Enjoy the warm weather.
