Yes, it has! How is yours?

getting better at least

Well, there's all this junk going on with Kristin's family. After 4 years of this BS, she's finally starting to see that these people might

"love" her, but they don't know or care whats best for us.Its complicated though b/c Kristin can be a complainer and when she does to them

they blame it on me.

They say she's "miserable" b/c of me - and have NOT stopped short of calling me an abusive manipulative etc.

When I point out that I worked 70hrs/ week in a very tough environment w/ a long comute to get her through nursing school? "His names aren't

on the student loans."

okaaaaaaaaaay

yowsa - that's horrible

I'm sorry.. I can't imagine you being the person they complain about. It's not nice being the person that is blamed for troubles...

Its a good thing I'm secure in my self. Of course that's their biggest problem with me.They've always lived in this huge metropolis (philly)

but they are uber-provincial - and Catholic.

Whatever "Catholic" means to them.They are just idiots.My mom is devout Catholic, but she's not threatened by my lack of participation in

her church.

I'm sorry for going off, guys.

Its been a huge problem for me the last few years-Kristin has felt pulled in two directions. . .which i do understand but she has needed to

grow up.Finally she is a professional and starting to realize how ridiculous her family is, and not worth the cost of admission.

But its been a long time coming, and many major fights later. . .

family feuds are always difficult - hard on a marriage

that is hard on a marriage - I'm glad things are starting to work out a little!

I haven't wanted to hold any grudges, but they have made it clear in the last few months that they think i'm an abuser and manipulator,

I think being upset by that isn't really holding a grudge - it's more standing up for yourself

and lazy.I have just tried to take the high-road.I know my girls love going over there (they live very close) and that the g-parents love

the girls,so I have just let things go.But this recent jive I am just saying "no."If you're gonna treat me and Kris like this, then dont

think we're gonna just keep going along like we have.It is good that Kris is at the end of her rope, too-but I thought we had reached that

point before.I think this recent situation has helped Kristin see what I have been so upset about.

the other complicator is that her sister and her husband are also involved.I haven't got along w/ her sister,but her husb is okay.

But with this recent situation he's being a coward.We just need to move away from here.I hope this last place we looked at works out.

I hope it does too!

you think you found a new place to live??

Yeah, I hope so.It's not as big as we wanted, but it will be temporary.Kristin has an hour commute, this place would make it 15.It's a

complex and they have a pool, so it will be a fun summer for the girls.

oh that would be great for the girls! And i'm sure Kristin will love having her commute cut down

Ooooooo... sounds pretty nice to me!

I'll respond in the next plurk

get away from the drama-filled plurk. . .

lol. good idea - no sense in dwelling on the negative stuff!

sounds smart!
