Glad he is going to be o.k. Twi! Hope his concussion heals fast!

Huge Hugs for both of you! I know that is very very hard. My brother lives in Japan, and we live far away from our parents too so I know how it is to be separated from those you love.

Congratulations on your new addition

Now I've got a sore throat I hope the rest of you stay well!

How scared you must be! {{{{{{TWI}}}}} I will keep your son in my prayers. I am glad Bowdy get to go home so soon.

That's awesome Senwolf! Quitting is tough, but oh so worth it

{{{{{Dee}}}} I wondered what was going on, I thought you mught have the flu or something. I'm so very sorry about your aunt.

{{{{{Hugs}}}}} Well as a mom I have done that, but never anything hot enough to actually hurt them. In my view if it actually was hot enough to cause a burn then it is abusive! I would stand up to her and tell her you are sorry if she doesn't understand, but in no way us she to discipline your DD. If she feels she is in need of instruction about a safety issue she should tell you and leave it up to you to do the discipline or teach the lesson. My mom or my MIL would NEVER do anything physical like that. They know it's my job to be the mom. I wouldn't let her near your DD unattended from now on. I am so sorry Happygirl!

I have a Wallace cousin, but it's on her father's side so I am not researching that name. Her family has already done the geneological research that connects her to William Wallace. Sorry I can't help with the other names.

Welcome back Sandra

3 out of 4 kids have a nasty cold and DH has Strep AGAIN! He just had it in December. Guess God knows what he's doing though, as it is VERY hard to stay angry and hurt at a spouse who is so sick. I decided it wasn't helping matters to be so resentful and upset about this. The councelling will teach him how to control those impulses, and I have to be willing to forgive even if I can't forget. I feel a million times better since I decided this. I know the love is still there in my heart and in his. We had a very long talk. He knows it can't happen again, and he is willing to do the work so I am willing to let go of all the negative stuff to make room for the positive to fill my heart. Tomorrow the guy comes to figure out the flooring plan for installation, what subfloor needs to be replaced first etc. Then he will give us an installation date I can't wait until I get my new floor! DH also put DD's new bedframe together today. It looks so beautiful in her room! I will have to take pics to post at Cat's site so you can see when it's all done. Once I figure out how to get them off my new digital camera!

Well my parents took me to see Sleeping Beauty, but I don't remember it from the theate. I vaguely remember going to the drive in with my parents for several movies when I would sleep through most of it in the backj seat. I figured out later one of them was Rocky because I remember lots of boxing and wondered why my parents were watching a boxing match The first theater movie I remember is Star Wars! I was 6 or 7 and my dad took us to a theater in San Fransisco at night. I was so excited LOL.

Awesome

{{{{{{Hill}}}}}} It's true, we are a real family here! I have felt that way about the people atMrs-S since the first post I made

Lowie Jamie Frasier is the main male character in the Outlander book series. Love a man in a kilt Gotta go rent Braveheart again And yes it's stifling hot in here LOL!

Thank you Happygirl. I appriciate your support so much! DH is making his councelling apt and I am getting a reference for me today. It will never be the same, but just maye we can salvage something worthwhile from the ashes.

Thanks for asking Brigie! I'm O.k. it's going to take time, can't scream and cry or throw things in front of my kids so that makes it harder. I just wish I could take off for a week or two but that's not happening. My kids need me. My friend should be able to give me a good reference for a marriage councellor so once we have that help along with individual councelling and time I pray it will be enough. Nothing anyone else can do, it's all up to my DH now!

Don't worry I am taking care of myself. I figured it was better to mellow out than break things in front of my children yesterday, but I promise not to make it a habit. I actually don't even drink in general except on holidays. DH is supposed to make an individual councelling apt with a councellor recommended to me by my best friend, and I am going to get a reference for a marriage councellor today from a psychologist friend of mine. I will be installing net nanny on all our computers and depending on the councellors advise I will decide what else needs to be done. Unfortunately I can't just get rid of it, because his job requires him to have internet access from home, and his computer is needs to be available 24/7. The door to his office is going to be removed and he will have to prove to me his computer is clean- I know where to look. I will change the password to give him access for his work and when he gets to use the internet. It is annoying and frustrating to have to treat him like a child, but if that's what it takes that is what I will do. I told him there is the barest thread of hope in my heart alive that he will have to strengthen with lots of effort on his part. I am not pushing him away emotionally or physically, it is up to him to do the work neccesary to fix this. I can only promise that if he does I will still be willing to try. Now that he knows that the consequences are absolutely he is out on his ear if he doesn't comply 110% I think he is crystal clear what the cost of failure is. I was able to talk to my mom about this and she gave me some good advise and hope that no matter how broken that this is still fixable if he makes the effort. She went through something similar in her marriage a few years ago which we had talked about so I knew I could approach her for support and help without fearing that she would hate my husband forever. I also have a very best friend that I can talk to about this so I have lots of RL support too. Thank you all for your prayers!

Thank you all so much! Your support means the world to me. I realize it si no reflection on me but I was reluctant to expalin why because his behaviour was so embarrasing and humiliating to me. After thinking about it I decided to post because it is his issue not mine and I deserve to be comforted! Hopefully the councelling will help him see that his behaviour is wrong and is damaging my heart and spirit and if he continues he will end up alone Your prayers mean the world to me. I am so grateful for your love and support!

Becca sits in the wonderful room and soaks up the ambiance Not happening anytime soon though!

Welcome Home! I am so glad you are back safe and sound. How great it must feel to be able to do work that benefits so many.

I need a hug, actually a lot of hugs. I don't want to go into the details I am just so incredibly sad and stressed almost past my capacity to deal with my marriage. Men can be so incredibly thoughtless and stupid! I am going to be sending us both to councelling so don't worry I am getting help with this but I could really use your prayers and support.

Can't have you thinking that Bridgie ! We aren't ignoring you ((((Hugs)))) I am slogging through whatever I can read so don't feel bad. I think I am just not in a mental place to want to read right now

Welcome back Star girl Glad your new computer is up and running smoothly!
