Well, I still don't think it's my place but basically her mother told her she was faking her ms, she can see why her husband left her and that she wished Renee were gone, but not in the way of moving out. She also hit Renee closed fist in the face. :(

All this and more just because Renee was having trouble maneuvering the stairs at her mothers house. It's all so sad and I am not sure I could have held back from calling the police on her mom. Poor Olivia witnessed the whole thing and was curled up on the floor while Renee's mother went ballistic on her. :(

Her mom later said she was sorry and she did her best to raise Renee right. :confused: :rolleyes:

She also called her ex and he just said he was sorry and for her to try to relax and calm down. :confused: :rolleyes:

denial is one thing but this goes beyond denial, Renee I am so sorry, :hug: keep positive thoughts on a job real soon

Renee - I am so sorry for you all. I certainly will keep you all in my prayers.

It is easy for me to say what I would have done in that situation but I'm not in that situation. Therefore, I can only recommend that you not wait for a job and find another place to live. Maybe tomorrow, go down and talk to the priest at the church and see what assistance they can offer or if their is someone in the parish that can take you in for a little bit.

Unfortunately, you have 2 dysfunctional relationships that you are dealing with right now. Both of these are causing you unnecessary stress. You're mom is not going to get any better and my concern is that she will take it out on you and maybe even the kids again. She already has issues with Olivia.

Please see what you can do to get out of there soon. :hug:

Dang I wish you didn't live so far. You'd be taken in in a heartbeat.:hug:

Nae Nae, sorry and HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS:)

to all hugsssss

a bit dizzy here so not on long...heading to bed soon...
got overwhelmed today...then got feeling awful...got home and then just looked around at stuff to do here and cried....:eek: I do sometimes cry about many things...but lately feeling like ready to cry at any moment...
not sure this is ME or maybe a bad side effect of neurontin....:eek: I am enjoying not tingling painfully...but wondering about this wierd sadness stuff going....

it might just be when overwhelmed with big list to do at work and at home....but I have had those lists and overwhelmed feelings without going into tears so heavy like I didnt know what to do...hmmmm

Well rash is a bit better...went to drs...they said it was nothing...they didnt give a what to the so bad itchys...but did have another urine test..and it was good...so not sure why still feeling the urge at times.....:eek:

anyhow falling apart haha....if the teary stuff keeps up, I will call drs office..and ask if I should think over the neurontin...I did stop the small light amount of predinsone...dr oked ...as I dont think anything was different thru the daily amount...and feeling weight gain ....

gonna go read side effects on neurontin...to keep eye on me....as I said I am a cry person...I can cry easy and often....but this seemed different today..and before I left for vacation..when got the same overwhelmed feeling....and two days ago..felt as though my eyes were tearing up often thru the day.

Hugsss all, feeling better now...might be lack of sleep those times too..as last night I only got 3 hours of sleep accidentally....so could just be that getting me emotional....hugss all, sarah:)

Renee - I am sorry you and the kids had to go through all of this. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.


If you would like to come to Maine, we have an apartment attached to the house, you can move right in! :hug:I don't have a job right now so I can come and drive back with you!! ;) Just know you have friends that love you and wish you better days ahead! :hug:

Sarah - sorry you had such a bad day.... :hug:to you too!

Did I ever tell you guys how much you all rock??? Well, you do! I feel the same way. She has a place here if she wants.

Well, you rock too Sandy!!!

I am going through empty nest syndrome.:eek: Everyone is gone!!! This is very rare. DBF, family, and a few of my closest friends are all out of town. DDs are both out. It is the weirdest feeling.

Usually I have something going on either with DBF, DDs, family, friends. But not this weekend. Yikes! lol Although, my sister will be coming to town on Sunday for a visit. But still.

It is giving me an idea of what having an empty nest + would be like. Not liking that.

OK, done pouting. lol.

OH, by the way, Sarah - every time they try to increase my Neurontin I get like that. So I stay at 900 mg (300 a.m. and 600 p.m.). Keep an eye on it. It could be the Neurontin or it could be a hormonal thing or maybe even something else. How much Neurontin are you taking?

Renee, I'm sorry you and the kids are having to put up with her *&@#. I hope a job comes through for you soon so you can get the heck outta there.

Guess I'm the early bird here today. I slept like carp last night. Woke up every two hours!! Both boys were gone last night - Matt stayed at a friends because they are going to the GA game today. Kevin stayed up a Jessica's (she still lives with her parents) because he is helping her Dad put a roof on a building they are putting up in their backyard. Tricia, I know how you feel!!

I just made some coffee so I'm gonna try to wake up and see what I can get into today! :wink:

Good morning everyone!

Just having my coffee, watching out kitten go crazy over a ponytail holder (who knew they could be so entertaining to a cat. lol), and trying to wake up a little more.

I hope you all have a great Saturday!

Renee, :hug::hug: So sorry to hear about what you're going through. Hope the job comes through for ya real soon. I'm another one who wishes I lived closer so we could help ya out. You're in my prayers, hun.:hug:

Sarah, I get that overwhelmed feeling from time to time. Lack of sleep definitely makes it worst. I'm either in tears or just angry enough to want to punch the wall. :hug::hug: Hope you feel better soon. Good idea to talk to doc about it.

TK, LOL. my kitties liked to play with those too, when my hair was longer. I had a few ponytail holders go MIA because of them. Of course, their favorite things to play with are soda pop bottle caps and twisty ties. LOL, I don't spend much money on toys for them becaue they don't play with the expensive stuff. :D

~~~~~~~~~~

Good late morning. Another late day start for me as I fumble around for my coffee. This is getting me a little down since I feel like my plans go awry, but probably needed the rest - so trying not to stress out from it. ;)

We're probably going to do some running around today. All depends on whether or not hubby is feeling better. He either got what I had or something else, cuz he was miserable yesterday and slept on and off for about 20 hours. He's one of those that gets sick and can usually sleep it off.:p

Hope everyone has a good labor day weekend. :grouphug:
