BND - I finally figured out that you were now mostly in 'Piecing', and have just read your thread. your MIL really is a piece of work.
Well we had a lovely Christmas, me my boys and some friends of theirs who didn't have a good place to go, and then h called and wants to come home!! Said he understood if I never wanted to speak to him again. Noticed how patient I was when he was horrible. I said I wanted to hit him at times, and he said 'You did - in the heart' He never says stuff like that. Anyway, he is packing up and planning to drive back here. We are very cautious, and I am prepared for some backsliding, because I know they don't just shift from one state to another. in fact he said that was the problem during the touch and goes - he couldn't understand why it wasn't all right immediately!!
BND I just wanted to thank you for your posts to me, and to others. You took the calm long view, on how to be grown up during this h*ll, how to trust in God, how to be kind and gracious to our aliens. You are an inspiration. I related to so much of what you said, and what I didn't relate to I learned from.
I am so happy that you are going to be re-united soon, and suggest that we get Lissett's bus out for the MIL. The world really would be a better place . . . As you know, mine has been an unfailing supporter of me and teh kids, and it has made a difference to me.
