[QUOTE="newstart, post: 764630, member: 22416"] Copa, I am weighing all my options. I suggested everything you mentioned to my husband and he said he just wants to show his relative the town. We went to see another one of his relatives, an uncle in New Mexico. I thought to myself, ok I will go visit him and how bad can this guy be if he is getting up there in years. He was a COMPLETE A.H. My husband even said so. My husband's dad was the only balanced one in that family. He was a loveable guy, fair, funny and loved my kids deeply. I do miss my father in law. I have no idea how that poor guy put up with a houseful of unmedicated bipolar people. My husband's family are all highly successful people in their work life. Crazy A** people making major decisions on other peoples lives. We take regular cruises. They are a nice way to completely relax. I'm thinking of taking a solo cruise. I see many women on board going solo and love it. Taking cruises and walking all over the ship late at night is how I got my daughter somewhat balanced through her teenage years. I would sit on the balcony on the ship, wrap us both in a blanket and watch the stars and waves and have talks. It seems to calm my daughter and that is when she would talk the most. I feel a bit more calm in my soul but still very Pi**ed off. Today the weather was nice so we took a 2 mile walk. I got irritated walking with him knowing all the crap he pulled so I prayed myself back to calm. But that irritated feeling comes up daily. I have been with the knucklehead since I was 18. He used to have a fair even head on his shoulders like his dad. I've had some wonderful things happen in my life and some awful betrayal too. I kept telling myself that I learned a lot with the betrayal, it was painful but powerful too as to make me see things different and to be a better compassionate listener when someone tells me about their betrayal. One thing for sure it is very healing to type out the agony and anguish. I have no idea how I am going to move forward with all this mess. Thank you for being there. Love sent to you in abundance.
