Carie Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Well, if anything, our family problems have gotten worse. My mother came down here Monday night and sat all of us down, including all my children and laid out her list of terrible things we are doing to my poor brother (fyi, if you missed my post a few weeks ago, my brother was arrested for stealing several thousands of dollars of stuff from us). They believe the only reason that the sheriff's dept. arrested him was because we said we thought he did it. Never mind that his accomplice (the owner of the fingerprints taken from the inside of dh's locked car) turned him in. Of course his accomplice is lying - but my brother isn't, etc., etc, etc. My mother called my dh lazy (because he works his 8 or 16 hrs. a day and comes home and rests! We don't live on a farm what else does she expect him to do?).....3 times!!!!! and then insinuated that we obviously had 1st hand working knowledge of drug usage. Because we knew stuff that you can learn from watching TV or that my 13 year old learned about during drug ed at school. I didn't even cry. I was furious. She left and I don't know if I will ever speak to her again. She has begun lying for my brother and until they realize that he has a drug problem there isn't anything that I can do to help them. Anyway, we are moving past this situation. We are finishing up some small projects then will be getting the house appraised and put on the market. Dh says we will stay here till spring then will be moving whether it has sold or not. We will not continue to be in this situation. So if you would pray it would sell quickly that would be great. I am packing nonessential items to get them out of the house and to a friend's for storage to make the house look better. Our budget is very skimpy this year so I am also trying to plan Christmas and such. We will be having holiday's with our little family only or maybe my mil. It will be different but ok. I have a denim quilt in the works for ds #1. I hope to get 1 made for each of the kids over the next year. Knitting some also. We painted pumpkins last night. Just trying to enjoy life. Others don't have the power to impact whether I am happy or not. I told dh I would be happy living in a tent somewhere as long as we are together and safe. I don't feel safe here anymore. I pray that God helps me to be content anywhere I am....even here for now. Anyway, just checking in. Love reading what is going on! Blessings, Carie Link to comment
