Hi Anna,

Thank you for replying. I feel the same way you and skyBdark feel about not letting others get to you and bring you down to their level. I have felt this way most of my life and learned to feel this way early on when I was picked on in school. I felt it wasn't fair for others to make us feel less of a person but at the same time I learned through God that I didn't have to be like them. That said, I'm not feeling that way now about these women. When my son was in court the first time for being a runaway and because of theft charges, they both were there and tryed to make me seem like I hadn't been a part of my sons life at all!! They said that he shouldn't be allowed to be with me!!! Let me explain. I have been married to my current husband for almost 12 years but last year I had somewhat of a break down. I left him and moved 242 miles away because if I was going to be on my own then I needed an education to be able to support myself and my children.(that was the closest place to us that had a vet. teck. program) After being away for about 6 months I had done alot of thinking and I learned that the reason I had left was not that I was running from my husband but I was running TO find myself. I have never worked, I've only ever been just a house wife and mom. I am now back home with my husband and children, thank God. The Lord has gotten me through alot. Back to what I was saying about these women, tho. They made it seem as tho I was never there for my children!! Which is SOOOOOOOO not true!!! I have always been such a BIG part of my childrens life!!! They haven't been around all these years to know WHAT has been going on anyway!! I've been a stay at home mom so that I COULD be involved with everything that has been going on with my kids!! GGggrrrrrr!! I've been lucky to have been blessed with the fathers of my children that I was blessed with. They both took care of my children while I was trying to get myself into a stable place, being that far away, so we could again share our children. SIGH Just like anyone elses life I'll say this is a long story. Well, these women came in and had no idea what was going on or what had gone on all these years. I'm just not going to put up with their crap!!! They are mean and spiteful people. You'd think they would want to know more of the past before they dove into what THEY thought was right. But.....NO!! That's not how they work. So, since that's not how they work then they will have me in their face telling them to back off or they WILL regret it!!!

I hope you don't regret replying to my post. I'm not normally like this. It just seems like I can't help it with "THESE WOMEN", ya know?

If you "now" have any advice I would be thankful.

Love,
Wendy
