[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 651973, member: 1550"] Most of the time I'll be alone. Bart goes to work and Junior is at school. I haven't seen Junior for at least three years. I'll be alone most of the time and Bart has all the toys and I can use them...I've never watched TV on a 66" TV before. He has every movie (probably downloaded illegally). He has tablets and a computer and I will certainly use that. He has work out equipment so I can use that. I can Skype my granddaughter during the day. I have my Kindle. I just get homesick after a few days of being anywhere. I like my own house, my husband, my dogs, my castle, although it's only an apartment (although a nice one). I will especially miss my dogs (no offense to my hubby...lol...but I can TALK to him. The dogs just won't know where I am and can't cuddle me). This is 100% for Junior. He needs more nurturers in his life and has been asking me to come since we started Skyping. Somehow he "knows." Kids do know...they tend to like me. And Bart and Junior are VERY close. I am very proud of Bart for shoveling his kid with love. I don't necessarily agree with how he d oes it...giving him a Christmas every visit (which is half the time), but he does love him and tells him so and takes good care of him and Junior adores Bart and cries each time he has to leave to go back to Mom. Bart and I usually get along these days. It is only when Bart is under stress that we don't because he freaks out and gets irrational. But he has calmed down a lot from his stealing/con artist/aggressive days and I'm not afraid. He is well aware of the fact that I WILL use 911. I do it when he threatens suicide. Bart can still be very odd and verbally abusive, but I told him I will go home the minute he raises his voice to me and he has learned I don't blow smoke...that I mean it. He is a big mama's boy and does NOT want me to leave early. And he wants me to get to know Junior in person. Junior's b-day is April 2nd, so he wants me there for that and I agreed that it would be cool to be there. This all happened because Junior begged and I decided I wanted to go. Being consistent with Bart has paid off. Also, Bart is not as unstable as he was in his 20's to about 30. He still has issues, but he is not anywhere near what he used to be like, EXCEPT when he is under unbelievable stress...and he isn't. The custody battle about killed us both because he loves Junior a lot and thought he would lose him ( as in, mother usually wins main physical custody) and he'd only see his son every other weekend. When that didn't happen, he went back to "normal" whatever his "normal" is...lol. [/QUOTE]
