jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	From what I've seen lately, step-parents had better grow eyes in the back of their heads. All you STEPS who are parenting, expect the unexpected. And may the Good Lord protect and keep you. _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	My son married a woman with two children and now they are both grown adults. They were a handful at times for my son but he was unrelenting in showing them his love and dependability no matter what they did. Now they are all so close it makes me tear up. They will come to him with their problems and their joys. I am their Gramdma and have never once regretted it. My granddaughter spoils me rotten. _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

#90502 - 10/04/06 03:42 PM Sounds hardhearted... [Re: Dianne]
jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	I'd describe a dear friend as "A stepmother in harms way." She was a great step; she cooked, cleaned, financially back the entire brood. Now she's penniless. Her health has faded. She's isolated from her many friends. I'm glad some of you have had a great experience in the stepchildren area. But some folks aren't so lucky. All I'm saying is watch your back. _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

Dianne Queen of Shoes Registered: 05/24/04 Posts: 6123 Loc: Arizona	I've had to watch my back for 13-years now. I've become very self-protective in this area and have learned to love from a distance. So sorry about your friend. Poor thing. _________________________ If it doesn't feel good, don't do it twice. www.eadv.net Boomer Queen of Shoes

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Yes indeed...please pray, pray, pray. I've been praying for 16 months now. She was better--returned to about 90% of wellness. But she's going backwards. I can't get any calls through to her. She isn't eating. She was walking without assistance. Now she's using a walker, again. This is the most heartbreaking circumstance I've ever faced. And believe me, I've faced some beauties. I don't have PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) for nothing. But this, this takes the heart right out of me. So, yes. Please pray!!! _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	I got a phone call through to my friend. She isn't feeling well again. I don't know what's going on. God is the only one who does. I keep praying He'll get in the middle of that situation and straighten it out. Please, help me pray for Almighty God to mastermind a grand turnaround; so this sweet angel can live the rest of her life in peace. Thanks! _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	You got it Bonnie. I've been waiting to hear how she's doing. May God comfort her and help her. Its just unbelievable that some people can be cruel to elders. I just don't get it. But it happens every day. So sad!

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	chatty, I never received it. Darn. I'd love to contribute. Our oldest two are adopted from Korea, then I got pregnant while waiting for our daughter to arrive. That's why our youngest two are only two months apart. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Bonnie, since we adopted from Korea, some people think we did this wonderful act for mankind. I had more selfish reasons in mind. I wanted a family. Period! I couldn't be more grateful. I spoke with both of my adotped children today - long distance. They called me.

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Dear Dotsie & JJ, Hey, Dotsie...most folks adopt because they want a family. What's wrong with that? It's still a wonderful thing to do. Kids need homes. Grownups need kids in order 2 b moms and dads. JJ my friend had eye surgery a couple days back. That eye is much improved. I'm hoping she has the cataract removed from the other eye soon. And I'm praying she won't feel so vulnerable and helpless after that. I'm praying this is the beginning of the healing process. She's normally a very intelligent person. I'm hoping her spunk returns and she regains control of her situation. With God all things are possible. I have to believe that!!! Please keep praying!!!

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	bonnierose, Thats one of the reason why every single morning of my life when I rise and open my eyes and look around at the world we share, I say THANK YOU GOD! I so appreciate everything given to me, health, sight, hearing, family, just everything. I will continue to pray for your friend. My mother (bless her heart) taught us to be always thankful for the things we were given and that really works. I give her the credit for making me so happy with most things people take for granted, which they shouldn't because in the blink of an eye, one or more of these blessings could be gone.

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Keep the prayers going to Heaven for my precious angel. Since I visited her, I'm more concerned than ever. If God would only send an undercover investigator to expose the emotional abuse in that environment, what a blessing that would be. I hope those villains live to be 105 and get back some of their own treatment, the last three decades. _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf
