I hope it works out too. My husband said tonight that his son is about to find out that there's just so much his father will take and until he (G) turns things around, he's not going to put himself out there. My husband just keeps impressing me.
I hope that I'm not going to go through 10 years of crap. I'm afraid I would have to keep the distance thing going in order to maintain my own sanity. I don't believe in putting myself in harms way just because it's a family member and no matter what side they happen to be on.
I have a sister who is a trouble maker and I've adjusted really well to not having her in my life...some people don't understand but that's okay, too. I haven't been around her in at least 10 years and she tried to come back about six months ago...I didn't allow it...she hasn't changed and so why go there?
