Wow! Every once in while, I have to remind myself to breathe through my nose. I also have to remind myself that I cannot fix everything that appears to be broken.
Thoughts like these, and about a quart or so of Capt. Morgan, seem to take the edge off from time to time.

Angie, my dear dear dear Angie. God has given you a handful. Take this from a new friend thats been there done that, except it was I the child. The problem back then was everyone stayed out of other families business. You are so brave to be considering the child. I wish you were around when I was in trouble. God knows what he's doing, your daughter hasn't hit bottom yet. Until then let God do his work on her and you do what you think will be better for the child. Now for the trash problem. He's moving around because the gun sights almost have him in range. His day is coming. The problem with doing the right thing always and I mean always requires hard work. Your good people Angie, God loves ya and so do all your friends.

Hey, angie...I hope you are feeling better and I am so glad you vented like you did. Letting it out HAS to be done, whether vocally or on paper (or both). I sure hope your grandson makes a decision he feels good about because everybody's got enough stress already. I know he feels he should stay to watch over his mom...and that is wonderful that he feels and cares that way...but he also has to realize that his mom makes an awful lot of the decisions herself (which isn't always the best way of watching over him) and she would probably do the same if he wasn't there...because it doesn't appear she is going to change. (Not right away, anyway.) If he leaves, it doesn't mean he stopped loving her or caring for her, just that it was his time to move away and move on. They can still stay in touch if they want to, so it's not like he's just taking off on her. Now, I do hope you are calmer and that all your furry friends are back to being your pals again...and not the bothersome furballs your anxieties have made them seem like to you.

Angie, So sorry you are going through so much right now. It's overwhelming. I hope it evens out soon.

I'm just glad your Grandson has had the opportunity to come to these opinions on his own. Hang in there and I'm sorry for your chaotic life right now.. I'm sure it is so difficult for you since you need organization. My ex was that way too and although I don't understand it (i'm the slob) I feel bad for the messes you have to endure. I know now how frustrating it can be for the ones that truly "need" it for a sense of security and comfort.

Sometimes you just need to let it all out! And I don't blame you one bit. It's horrible to see the ones you love spiral down because they are latched onto a bum like that.

Oh jeez, Angie...I'm humbled. Because I feel this way this morning...

Angie, you are going through a lot. It would be heaven sent if your grandson were able to stay with you... for both him and for you. I'm glad you've got the sweet kitten to keep you busy. It's a lucky kitten indeed to have you! Take care...

I hope your grandson comes and lives with you. It doesn't sound like a good situation at all right now.

Phew!

Having a bit of a whinge is just the thing.

As long as one doesn’t make it a lifetime event…

hahahaha I can't imagine that

I've felt that way a lot lately,what with Jethrene and all her problems. I'm ready to tell her to go away...but then there are the babies.

Venting is good

I can empathize. My son in law is a jerk too and my daughter supports the family...ugh! Maybe your grandson will get free of them.

With one gigantic paragraph, I figured you wrote with one big gulp of nitrous oxide! Whew! Hope you're feeling vented now.

*big hugs* oh angie we all go through times like this. can you just move your grandson back home? doesn't sound like a good environment for him and then you would have help with all the critters!

Son in law sounds like a jerk, hope they get out of that situation sooner than later

Well, my paragraphing went somewhere. Sorry guys!
