.my issue is not with you, dear heart..it's with my own history...and a life long struggle to understand the "Whys" and "Wherefors".....I have made my own regrets, and can't blame anyone else but myself for my choices...particularly those of a young immature me. But the cruelest parts are those "acts of senseless violence" committed on one person by another. I guess after a Lifetime of asking "why", I find some comfort in realizing "God" or add your preferred ...had nothing to do with it....it was one man's free will...he had other choices, but chose to act as he did. Some of you here know my circumstance. And I thank you for giving me a safe place to vent.

Missed my point, huh? Even the violence you have experienced was part of your life choice... he was a butthead because you needed him to be (for whatever reason, no one but you can ever figure out). You needed to experience hurt, and he needed to experience hurting someone. (regardless of my spiritual belief, I still label such guys as "evil") I have known many many women who were married to (or living with) guys that I considered absolute aspholes. When I asked them why they put up with it, there was always some excuse (I can't find anyone better or I got what I deserved or some BS like that). You decide what you deserve, so I always told them they were better than that and they did not have to accept what was happening. No, I was not trying to get them to leave to be with me instead. I was merely trying to get them to understand that they had the ability to set their sights on something higher, believe they could attain that goal, then move forward. Some of them took the advice and are, today, very happy with their new partners. Each of us creates our own reality (personal reality, not consensus reality, but that's another discussion). Use your imagination to create your field of intentions, then live it as if it is real, and it will become so. Way too many people think they are stuck with "their lot in life" and I always try to show them they can change --- IF they truly want to. Does that make more sense?

EDIT: Add: We all must remember, no matter how negative our pasts might have been, it is part of what makes us who we are today. In spite of yesterday's pains, today you are a beautiful person. Love yourself for who/what you are right now, this minute.

No, I don't think I missed your point; There were so many lives changed when my father was murdered at gunpoint in his store. My mother was robbed of her financial security, her husband and their golden years together. She learned to live alone for the rest of her Life, and yes, that was her choice. Their American Dream was crushed. It affected none harder than my mother, tho.

No one can ever explain away the pain (and life changes) like you and your mother have been through without sounding extremely callous, so I'm gonna shut up now. Having seen the other side a couple times, however, all I can say is that your father does not currently have a problem with it and you and mom will understand why after your own transition. It makes no sense to us who are still here and we will always ask, "Why did this have to happen?"

@Shawn Hoefer Has your stepson ever been tested for like ADD or Asbergers? I mean, helping himself to all your icecream, but just leaving a little...and not replacing it. For him it seems food magically appears out of no where, feathers plucked, cooked and dressed out in stuffing and gravy . He seems quite comfortable with this arrangement. He is not yet in a place of discomfort sufficient to changing any of the things that are broken. I agree with @rangerrobin a manchild under your roof should pay his own way..if not by $$ then by chores.....as a matter of self-respect and respect to you and those who feed and care for him.

@Fuzzy Thunderbear & @KatzWh1skers . . .

There was so much that was presented and discussed in that conversation between the 2 of "You" that I really want to respond too and even expound upon, however given that I am not a typist, I cannot really properly write anything that would not take at least the next three days, especially given the nuances of the philosophy being brought up about Life & Living . . . So All I can do right now is give Ya's a . . .
Just Sayin' . . .



@Shawn Hoefer . . .

Another 3 day dialog, so all I will say right now - There seems to be an absolute NEED for both of "You" to re-establish the Boundaries and reset expectations, especially that both of you have . . . Just Sayin' . . .

@jpf880 . . . Really hope "Wifey" gets better and is back home soon . . .

BTW: IMO - "You" really should accept that "KBox" as both something to use now and an additional a back-up too . . . "You" never know when it just might come in handy . . . Just A Thought . . .

did you know at 65 you need a special pneumonia shot

YEP - And for some of "Us" even earlier, especially when Ya' already have a lot of breathing problems . . .

BTW: Don't for get to get the booster shot in 5 years (Adult Pneumococcal Vaccine Guidelines, Benefits, Side Effects . . . Just Sayin' . . .



AND - For "Everyone" In NEED . . .

"GOOD VIBES" & "Healing Thoughts"​

. . . are being sent "Your" Way​

Okay - It's that time again . . .


Once again - For all of the 'Tree-Peeps" already gone to bed and those about to go . . .

Hope Ya' have very restful night and pleasant dreams . . .

Okay - I'm done for the Day . . .

It's . . .

AND - I'm off . . .

Good "MoringNite" All - See Ya' Tomorrow . . .

Did the early thing and I'm beat. Going to try for a nap in a bit.

Don't know what to say about the "kid" Shawn. Both of mine had jobs by the time they graduated high school. One did 5 years in the Corps, using his GI bill for school now and is sort of job hunting at the same time. The other has worked the whole and leaves for the Air Force in a few months. They've both needed "reminders" at time but pretty much it's all on them to take care of what they need.
