Yee gads seek, your post could have been describing me and my family. I too spend a lot of my time solo. My DIL is in the hospital and I bumped into a friend of someone she works with and thats how I found out. When I went to see her she said, well I thought Dave would call you. Dave is my supposedly loving son I haven't spoken to now since well before Thanksgiving. He is too usy with his own friends. I can't believe how my life is different now from what I thought it would be like. I am virtually alone family wise. And you know what, I am getting use to it and I rather like it. Only my problems and life to worry about, no ranting from my sons behaving like I am the kid and they are the adults.

I can't wait for my ex to move out so I can maybe sell this place and move to, get ready MamaRed, I am coming home to Fox Lake. I can hardly wait.
