[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 656298, member: 1550"] I'm sorry you aren't feeling well. And I'm sorry about not hearing from your son, but I do think they don't even know what day it is when they are in that bad place. I'm glad you enjoyed the time with your sister-in-law. Tea sounds SO GOOD right now. I think I'm going to make a cup myself! You have a peaceful night and a good day at work tomorrow. My father is not always easygoing. But, frankly, both he and I were outcasts in the family. He was blamed for everything wrong in the marriage and it wasn't all his fault at all. She was horrible to him, as she is to people she doesn't like. She also kept us from seeing his family and she mocked him a lot, much like she mocked me. Unfortunately, my mother did a good job of convincing me and my siblings that my father's family was just terrible to her and bad people, and I doubt that was true. In HER mind only. I am so sorry I had no insight into my mother's divide and conquer ways back then. I was so screwed myself in those days. I look back and am shocked at how I thought and how dumbly I followed what my mother said. We didn't get along well, Mother and me, but I loved her and believed her view of things. Stupid of me. Yesterday I had a chance to tell my father how sorry I was for ever blaming him for the divorce. Frankly, I was just going along with my sibs and in my own world since I was already married, and my 20's were probably my most unstable years while I tried to deal with a new and critical husband plus his terrible surgery and recovery and also my own mood disorder, which was not at all under control. It is nice to know I am loved by somebody from my FOO. It is a peaceful, nice feeling. I so wish I had had a mother like you that you still miss. But I am so sorry that you are missing her. That must still hurt...I still miss my grandmother so much...actually, I forgot, but she also loved me lots. Just those two... Have a peaceful night and a great day tomorrow. So many of us here are from or were from the Chicago area! [/QUOTE]
