[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 399309, member: 1514"] Fran, dad married Pat in April of 84 right before I had Jamie. His divorce became final from my mom 12/24/83. My mom and dad separated sometime in 81 but I cant quite place the month. It was before Billy was 5 months old because that is when Bill stole him from us and I had to go retrieve him from them in FL and I was out of jail on bail and it was a mess getting the courts to OK me leaving the state. Mom was living in the trailer she bought for me and Bill to live in and Dad had to promise that Bill could come back and live with him and me in my Dads house in order for me to get Billy. I have never seen my Dad so mad. Really. So it must have been late 81 when they separated. Yeah. Pat told my dad where my mom had stashed two money market account checks or something like that, that were in just her name where my mom had wiped out a substantial portion of the marital assets and hid them just for herself. She hid them under the rug in the living room...lol. She made the mistake of telling Pat who she thought was her best friend but who turned out to turn traitor and started to be "friends" with my dad and nature took its course. At first it was kind of strange for me to see the woman who used to be my moms friend dating my dad...and even worse, kissing and hugging him...and knowing they were doing more than that...but eventually I got over that. My mom was never thrilled. She lost a husband and a friend in one fell swoop. But it was my mom's doing, she wanted the divorce. I just dont know what I am going to do. I dont know how to think or feel. I sure wish I could see that list. I sure wish my dad had talked more to me about things before he died. I wish I had gone up a few weeks earlier and had more of a heart to heart with him. Maybe he would have laid things out for me...or maybe not. Every time she says anything its always...we didnt want you to know or get worried or get upset over something that you couldnt do anything about. Well...I couldnt do anything but I could have been there to just be with him! Time is something I cant have back. Sigh. Im not some wilting flower. Heck, they didnt even know about my bipolar!
