Well... ok... I had never thought of myself as a "trauma junkie" and I've never been accused of it, so I'll think about that, ok?

As for "getting something out of it," if you're talking about my UN-husband, yeah. I get wheels out of the deal, with a chauffer! He DOES do most of the heavy work around here that I can't do and there's another warm body in the house.

As for the kid thing; I've given up on my daughter. I did that a long time ago. But for my youngest son, I didn't pick his manipulative wife. In fact, I warned him about her when he told me he was becoming interested in her. Everything I told him would happen has... and then some! All of his friends told him he was getting involved with the town tramp but he knew that already. She thought she was pregnant with his best friends kid!! Not taking responsibility for that one!

What I DID do wrong was not keep my mouth shut. At the time, I thought I was doing the right thing by supporting my son. His wife got ahold of the letter and as always, took it the wrong way EVEN when I didn't mention her AT ALL. Extremely insecure people do that, you know. My support of my son was an attack on HER??

As always, Wi_Fighter, when I get told something I don't like to hear, I still give it due consideration as I will give your post. There is always something to be learned from "constructive critisism." I'll check out my behavior to see how much of your prespective I can find in it.

Thanks
