no reason to feel bad. imo you're going above and beyond, looking out for others, and you're sure as heck better at it than i. not to mention ya got a lot on your own plate.
but it's good to know bill (geez, another one) and bride are doing better.
Thanks Bill, I just FEEL for those WITH problems and try to support in any way that I can. As far as being better than anyone else, at it, I'm not so sure about that I Do thank you for the kind words though. You and the others have sure been there for ME!
Yeah, ANOTHER "Bill", seems like we're running over with them, huh?
Looks like I'm getting SOME of MY load OFF of MY plate. James, the young man who LIVED (I capitalized the word "lived" because he doesn't anymore) with us was causing me a lot of grief and it finally came to a head last Wednesday (the 26th of August). He decided that he wasn't coming home that night and wouldn't tell me why (during the phone conversation where he told me he wasn't coming), only that he wasn't coming. Then he decided he wasn't coming over on Thursday either. I was already deciding that he wasn't going to try to cooperate to help us ALL get through these times and I had already told Bost that soon as i got the life insurance money, I was paying off every single thing I could and felt that I could get things down to where I didn't feel that I needed HIS contribution and they needed to find a place for him to keep his MOM from getting back in his life completely because she was most of the problem. It was at that time that I found out that HIS Mom had put in for a job with Bost, at HIS insistence! At ANY RATE, I am starting to feel a big load lifted and One of the Lady's, who is in position to help, at Bost, has told me that she hates to see people "Jerked Around" like I have been and she will make sure that I get whatever I need to be able to move on, as Brenda and I have bent over backwards to do whatever we could to make sure that this youngman had what ever he needed, during the TEN years that we worked with him. AND This is the way he treats me as a result. He doesn't have ME to kick around now! AND I"M feeling more like my old self, Except for not having BRENDA by my side.
Oops! Looks like I kinda opened the floodgate and released a load.
I didn't really mean to DO that, here anyway. It's just that I DO feel better knowing that I don't have to put up with HIM anymore (it was getting to be more than I could handle)
and, with time, he AND his MOM will realize just how much we (Brenda and I) were doing for him and it'll be way too late to come back (it's ALREADY too late, far as I'm concerned). Load let out, Rant over, I'm moving on, Bill
