[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 610964, member: 1233"] First of all, STOP APOLOGIZING TO US. We understand that sometimes you just need a break or are so drained you cannot post anything or are so busy that you cannot post here regularly. We don't expect to be your highest priority, and our lives get busy too and we go through bad times or times we just cannot cope with one more thing. You do not get upset with us when we take breaks, and we do not get upset wtih you for that either. The people you share DNA with are idiots. They threw away a truly loving, caring wonderful woman by abusing her. They are delusional because they think that they can bring you back by heaping more abuse on you. Talk about stupid, I think they went back for sixths when that was being handed out. You owe them nothing. When you had your first child your priorities changed. That child's needs had to be put before your parents and siblings' desires. Period. You still have kids, and protecting them from abuse by ANYONE is your sacred duty. Of course you cannot protect them from everything or themselves, but you CAN cut abusive relatives from their lives to some degree. in my opinion you are doing a great job as a mom by refusing to keep in touch with your abusive relatives. I do think you should talk to someone in law enforcement about your options should the telephone abuse start. especially as they have now threatened to come find you and kill/harm you. You do not have the training or experience to do a risk assessment so that you have some idea of how likely they are to carry out their threats. Safety MUST be a priority, esp when you are dealing with such crazy idiots. For well under twenty dollars (under $5 on many websites) they can access all sorts of personal info including your address if you are not totally off the grid. It is next to impossible to be totally off the grid anymore. Your kids are traumatized enough as are you. You sure as sugar do not need your relaatives to come and create more conflama and pain for your immediate family. I am so sorry they are so awful, and I hope and pray they just go away. But if they don't, you and your kids need to be well prepared. Please do not lose or destroy the saved recordings, do not open yourself up to their abuse (they won't stop until they are made to stop if they think they can get away with it) if you can avoid it, and if they contact you again, contact law enforcement and see what your options are. What they are doing is a CRIME, it is WRONG, and they are complete and total idiots to not realize how special, wonderful, and loving you are. But that is THEIR loss, and you are sooo much better than they are. (((((hugs))))) We are part of your family, and they are just losers who threw away the best person they ever knew. Phooey on them and their stupidity. [/QUOTE]
