Ah! family, ain't it great!?

Post by Virginia »

Gawd, I hate washing my dirty linen in public.

As most of you know, I came out to my now ex, asked her not to tell anyone until I got a handle on what was "happening to me." Of course that lasted all of 15 minutes! She had to tell her mother (scientific evidence indicates that when she was born they actually never cut the umbilical cord and I was too dumb to see that!) That was some 5 or so years ago. Well she had a undiagnosed brain tumor develop (my interpretation, Dr's don't know what caused her brain to swell), they drilled three holes in her head. I don't think she has ever recovered. She went to a counsellor (never married single female) who treated her with advanced scientific procedures -- music therapy and tuning forks on her feet. I am completely convinced that this counselor was the root of our divorce. Long story short, my ex told everyone she knew including my son and my daughter that I was some kind of sexual deviant. My son-in-law, an institutionalized drug abuser (earlier in his life), said he had a problem with my being around my two grandchildren.

I found out yesterday that my son-in-law has been beating the s#$% out of my daughter over the last year or so. I have gotten no phone calls, birthday, Christmas cards, nothing from my daughter since my divorce. Now she is in the process of divorcing this clown and since her mother died over 10 years ago she has no family, but her alienated "daddy." We spoke on the phone for the first time in what? three years or so yesterday and, well I told her I am still her father and I am there for her. Since she was a bit incoherent given her situation, I told I would come to see her but she did not think that was a good idea but that she would call me in the next few days == I am still waiting but it's only been one day so far!

Just remember, when you think things are bad, just look around there are others in far worse shape = guess that is a two edge sword!!! :-k

Thank whatever powers may exist in this universe for my beautiful SL! Between she and Virginia, I am gonna get through all this!!

Love you all,

Virginia

PS: Oh, my son??? Just found out from my daughter, yesterday, his wife just graduated with a masters in Child Psychology (no invitation from them) and he finally figured out to get ahead one should have some college education, so he has gone back to school. Since he called the cops on me because he "thought" I might be violent during the divorce, we have not had any contact, but that's another story, just like he and my ex sleeping together up until he was eleven and that is yet another story!

Enjoy your Magical Mystery Tour!!!! I AM!!!!!!

Oh my God, I think that I have had a miraculous cure! I feel better already Virginia! I thought that a cloud had parked over my head lately, but gee, it seems to be really sunny right now!

I do not have an [ex] yet, working on that feature of my life as you know (40 years). Sent the papers to the lawyer today. I will keep an eye on this thread. Isn't that why we stand around a home burning, so we can say, "sure glad that's not my house," go home to our comfy chair and watch TV.

I am with you girlfriend! Family can be rather bothersome and difficult at times. Hey, they can even have you locked up instead of maybe getting some much needed medical attention. Been there! Thank goodness only one time in my life. One ticket, one almost lock-up, went to the hospital cuffed to the bed for two days until I could get bail. Hmmm! I wasn't fond of those orange jump suits they wear in jail, very tacky and well, just not my cup of tea dear!

I guess a person needs to do everything once just to get the feel of it!

Take heart....life gets better of course as you already have been fortunate enough to experience. I am working on it. A young woman at Wal-Mart winked at me and gave me a hug after I gave her the last snickers bar in the box that we both went after.

Hugs

You've got some restraint there, Virginia.

I think son-in-law would have to mysteriously disappear.

I'm sorry to hear about all the chaos and unhappiness. I hope they throw the SIL in the poor peoples rehab (jail) where he belongs.
