This is a totally long story.....I will try to make it short as possible. I come from a family of me and my 3 sisters. 49 Linda, 48 Lori, ME 37 and Leslie 35.....anyway, Linda is married to Tom since 1982 (3 boys)...Lori married to Jerry (boy and girl (sarah-6 mo younger than my Madison)....me...(Morgan 10, Madison 8) and Leslie(married for 3 years no kids...divorce....he was violent).....
This could cause a long post to the point where you would just hit the back button...but.....I just want to know if anyone else goes through this in there families......before I begin...forgive me for any spelling/grammar mistakes....
Growing up, we always considered our family (oops....mom and dad....or as I call them "mama and daddy") as the most "normal family every"..........but as these past years have gone by....I can see we have our mistakes as well..
My sister Linda married in 1982 to a guy Tom.....it was funny cause when she announced her engagement.....mama said "Tom who?".....All was good, I guess, they had 3 boys.......cutest kids in the world!!! I was actually Patricks (now 19) "favorite aunt"
Lori got married on her 31st BD.....and the person she married was Jerry....she was before, pretty down to earth, etc........but since.....OMG......she built a house in 1986 I think, that she is now asking to sell for 500K+......and in the process of building a new one that will be well over a million.....Good for her, I know....but she is not allowed to talk on the phone to her sisters etc......and hangs up really weird if "he is pulling up in the drive" etc.....Even if we are at my moms...and we (all the sisters want to act "silly".....Jerry has a fit")....
Leslie, married in 1993 and her husband was actually an idiot....and did hurt her to the point where I took pics of her bruises....I helped her immensely........she even stayed with me and Paul for a while....
Me and Paul dated since March of 1983,,,,married in 1991 and have Morgan and Madison (10 and 8).....I think we are pretty "normal"....but maybe not......
Jerry (works for the big 3)......has NEVER gotten along with my sister Linda (who also works for the big 3).......they are both "white collar" workers. I think there is a thing there cause Linda (my sister) is the "money person" in her family of 4.....it is so hard to explain.....but there has been some big "blow outs" between the 2.
My little sister Leslie was really bad after the divorce...and mama gave her a bunch of money etc.....and not to say she didnt give me and Paul some to help us out along the way...but to pay her rent for a year (680.00) and all her expenses to live in an apt when she was more than welcome to move home with mama and daddy.
Anyway, let me get to the point, I guess, which I am SOOOO HAPPY!!!!!!!
I just got off the phone with my mom ( I do talk to her about 3-4 times a day)..........and we discussed something that happened at daddys BD on March 6)
Daddy turned 75 and we all showed up.....Joshua didn't come (lori and Jerry's kid 14 cause he had a bad cold).......and when me and Leslie were getting daddy's cake ready in the garage./.....yes....we put 75 candles on it......Jerry was leaving to Walmart to get a filter for the humidifier for Josh.
I told him and he said.....""""I at least am concerned for the health and well-being of my children"""""""!!!!!!!!!......
I just lost it...and actually told him to ..............."off" VERY VERY LOUD!!!!.....I just lost it....couldn't hold back.....and we are not the type of family to even say hell....if that is even allowed in this forum........
But anyway.....to make this LONG story short.....I know it is just impossible now...but I AM SOO HAPPY.........my mom was ok with this...even though she didn't approve of my words....but she also agreed that someone at least put him in his place (Jerry).....and stood their ground....
I have been just so worried about this whole thing......since March 6 for the BD you just cant imagine......I hated to mention this thing to anyone....and now that I know my mom is actually ok with it makes me feel so much better.........
I am sorry for such the long post...but I feel so much better now!!!!!!!!!!!
