[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 706706, member: 18516"] Hi all, I want to thank you so much for your support. It means the world to me. I'm doing really well, thank you for asking. It's been a busy couple of weeks and will be a busy several months as we clean out my mother in-laws house. There was a time that I would not try to find him. I think it's a very personal choice. For me, I no longer harbor the anger I once I did so it's much easier to deal with the news of his incarceration. I just feel sorry for him. I did get a letter from him. It's the same type of letters I have received before when he's been in jail. He talks a good talk but only time will tell if he's really serious about changing. He claims that he is ready to let go of his "ego" and wants to start making amends. I've heard it all before. I do hope he's sincere but again, only time will tell. He also included a letter to the mother of his children, my grand children. He says he's sorry for abandoning them and he has a lot to make up for. He has been out of their lives for almost 7 years. My granddaughter remembers him but not my grandson. I will give the letter to my daughter in law and let her decide what if anything she wants to do. I have made it clear to her that I will guard her and the kids privacy. I do not share any information with my son about them. Here's the real kicker!! I can look at the court minutes online so I have been able to follow what's going on. (the only downside is it takes a couple of days for them to upload the latest) So, my son had court on Monday and it was for a motion to represent himself. He's facing assault with a deadly weapon (knife). I don't know if the motion was granted, have to wait for the minutes to be loaded. Of course I'm not surprised by this - my son thinks he's smarter than everyone! Of course if he was sincere about letting go of his "ego" I don't think he would be doing this. I keep thinking about the old saying "He who represents himself in court has a fool for a client" :nonono: [/QUOTE]
