[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 591253, member: 9175"] It is amazing how they can spinb things, isn't it? So far, I've said NOTHING since talking to Ossy. I do not plan to discourage, or advise her at all (expcept in the unlkely possibility that she may ask). Clearly,she took Ossy there and not me for a reason and, clearly, she told him a slightly different version of the story than she told me. Ossy is being typical ossy. I could heaer the sand crunching between his teeth as he told me this on the phone last night and I know he took a couple of breaks to re-bury his head when things got a little uncomofortable. He sayd "I met the guy. He isn't the brightest, but he "seems like a nice guy" (says this about EVERONE she's met). I do not believe she is in "immediate" danger. The house is clean and the kids well taken care of". Note to Ossy: Ted Bundy "seemed like a nice guy", Jeffrey Dahmer "kept his house clean (except for the freezer. You met him for TEN MINUTES. You cannot possibly know. And, my point is that it's irrelevant -really - whether this guy is ok or not. [I][B][U]difficult child iis not ok[/U].[/B][/I] Anyone who would think this arragement makes sense, is clearly not thinking rationallly. So this guy checks out ... what about her next hairbrained move??. How long can this arrangment last? She cannot take care of herself, let alone three small boys.

Decides on the spot that this will work, despite meeting only one of the three children. Comes home to mom and paints story of cool mother-in-law suite in small town. Takes dad on a tour.

Texts me at 3:00 a.m. to say they'd been drinking so, rather than drive home, she will crash on couch. Yes, this is so normal when sealing a rental agreement.. I am practicing my detatchemnt. I know her well enough that once she's bounded this freight train, she'll ride it until it crashes or she jumps off. Dash. HaoZ .. good, good, question. This I will ask. [/QUOTE]
