Jane C~

I see you have support and I’m barely supporting myself at the moment so I just browse the threads and say enough to be a lurker and not a creeper. I wanted to tell you a story. It is nothing to do with yours I hope I don’t startle you with my parenting. i just want to tell you because your thread title made me think of it and I am hoping it will lighten both of our moods.

A few years back, my son was home on leave, from the marines, and he was feeling strong in that brotherhood. We were riding down the road and I can’t recall what we were talking about but he laughed and said, “you suck.”

My son never talked to me like that and I was flabbergasted so it took me a second to regroup and then I looked at him and said, “The real question is do i spit or swallow” and he freaked out like a kid that just caught his parents groping each other. He let me know we can never be friends.

In any case~ thanks for the memory hope you're feeling better soon.
