    It's been a long time.....

    Hello old friends, hello new members.

    It's been two years since I've posted. Last posts were of the losses I suffered in '05. My life went to hell in a handbasket as a result and I'm still trying to make my way back.

    I won't bore you with the GFG stuff right now, just to say YES they are BOTH STILL GFG's!!!

    Michael, now 24 and his now former girlfriend moved back to PA from MD. They remain friends and are both active in raising their beautiful daughter who will be two on 10/17.

    Nicole, turning 27 10/8, first and foremost DIVORCED BIO-IDIOT!!!!!! He still / again sits in state prison, I have no clue when he'll get out. Hoping T will be old enough to be able to legally tell him to kiss off. She's in a relationship w/ someone and T has a new baby sister at home, born this year 2/8. As if having three grandchildren doesn't already make me feel old, the fourth is on it's way already and is due only two days after the baby's b-day. I've made it perfectly clear that I'm infuriated about the situation, but obviously what's done is done - I'll love my fourth grandchild just as much.

    Trust me when I tell you that there are MANY gaps that could be filled in in the above paragraphs, but as I said, I'll spare you.

    DH is doing well, working hard as always. He always has been and continues to be my sanity.

    I'm on meds and in counseling since late '05 trying to deal w/ many things. One day I'll have some sanity back in my life.

    I honestly don't know what made me bring up the board today. There's so much I have to do (never enough hours in my day) and other things I needed to do online tonight, but brought this up. I'm thinking my subconscious is working OT (again), as T (who is eight now - nine in December!) is headed down the path of destruction like his Uncle M and the bio-idiot. (

    I'll try to pop in more often. In glancing around, I see there are still MANY alumni still hanging around! :O)

    Until another day.... Take care of you.

    I *swear*, I was thinking of you yet again tonight as I was giving dh shopping list for washing down the basement walls tomorrow - you'd be so proud, scrub brush, bleach, baking soda, LOL. You pop into my mind on a regular basis as I wash down these walls far more regularly now. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rofl.gif[/img]

    Sorry to hear gfgs are still gfgish - but glad to hear some positive steps are being made by Nicole. Especially glad to hear you're taking care of yourself.

    So good to "see" you!!

    Re: It's been a long time.....

    I see older members pop in and start mentioning gfg's ages and think where have the years gone...

    No grandbabies via youngest gfg - he has decided he doesn't want kids any time soon - oldest gfg has two kids now and house bets are about the third one before the end of the year..

    Am glad to read that T's daddy is no longer in the picture [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

    I was just thinking of you and the yummy candy the other day.
    Must be psychic in my old age. Phew/Whew so glad to hear that T
    is safe from bio/idiot...at least for awhile. Good news that you
    found some support for you. Don't forget to check in more often.

    DH & I have raised our 25 yr.old grandson. At 14 he turned to pot & booze to cope with problems. He's a GFG#1. In 2005 he fell off a balcony, had brain surgery and has TBI effects. His recovery is very stressful. Time will tell if he ends up GFG or PC. Our GFG#2 is 21 and now lives with his GFGmom. He's ADHD, AS, BP plus. DH and I have 6 children and 11 grands. Yikes!
