Hello everybody!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARILYN AND CORKY!!
It's a tough one indeed... Maybe being back on duty will help him figure things out.. It may take time, but it probably will... He sees his mother as being abandoned... without knowing the situation.
If you have his address in Japan... give it some time and then write him a letter. If you have to, put a different return address so he doesn't send it back unopened... have someone he doesn't know address it.
And as hard as it will be... try not to be SO negative about his mother. Stay semi neutral. We did that with Emma. No matter what Lynda did to us, I never put it on Emma...

Oh Deb, I'm sorry on all accounts.I hate how you struggle with your leg. Will you be able to take care of it while on the cruises? I wonder if it will be a bit better by then?
Were you able to get out to the doctor? How did you manage?
So sorry how Jane is behaving, how awful. The whole situation just stinks.![]()
Hello everybody!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARILYN AND CORKY!!
Monica - hope you are doing great! It was a weeks pass to the dance festival that was happening in our town. I gave it to my mom who was planning to buy one in order to see my niece in her many dances in the competition.
Michelle - quick be ready for the huge hug being sent your way! There did you feel it
Holly - you could also see about plants to keep away bugs. One year I planted citronella geraniums which were extremely low maintenance and reduced the mosquitos
Deb - sorry for the mess with Tristan. Hopefully when he gets back to Japan he'll get a wakeup call about appreciating all his family. In the meantime, you know you did the right thing, and eventually he'll realize it too.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARILYN
Are you kidding me.....I should get an Academy Award for the way I acted around Tristan's mother. I NEVER let the kids think that I didn't adore her. Until the line in the sand was drawn and I had to choose Casey or her. I chose Casey. Now she hates me. So does Tristan. But I never said anything negative about her to the kids.....just the opposite. I sang her praises while I wanted to barf.
I did write a private note to Tristan a few times on FB. He forwarded it them to his mother to read and she twisted everything I said and spit it back out to Casey. I said a good Christan always forgives and I was accused of calling Tristan a bad Christan.
I tried. I now give up. It's sad, but I don't need the added stress and negativity. My brother won't give up. He'll keep trying. I'm finished. I didn't do anything wrong. I helped the kid out when his mother kicked him out. If his mother and brother have issues with that, then so be it....it's on them. Tristan made his choices and I will live with them.
Thanks Kathe.
Well for now it looks like you won't win, but given time I bet Tristan will be back and will know how bad his mom is for himself. What a shame though. Families!
Cool, thanks Shannon! I've never heard of those. I will definitely check into this.Holly - you could also see about plants to keep away bugs. One year I planted citronella geraniums which were extremely low maintenance and reduced the mosquitos![]()
Wow, I hope the Wonder CM is found safe and sound, but after 2 days, how scary.![]()

Life has been busy. I'm banking overtime towards the cruise this spring. And extra 7.5 hours already this week. Ken normally drops the girls off in the mornings and I pick them, but this week it has been all him so far. It has been nice having him deal with dinner every night, even if I don't make it home in time to eat it![]()
Sorry guys, for some reason I missed the posts from yesterday.I thought nobody was posting!!!
