From dead batteries to poison oak to TB and his travails, I'd want to run away and hide! That Snippet sounds seriously deranged and I hope TB will wise up now and extend being "enjoined" even longer, permanently in fact! I know he's fundamentally a good guy, and he (and your family) deserve so much better (and calmer)!<BR/><BR/>How's Daughter Dearest doing? Must be fine since she escaped the suckitude.

As long as he didn't hook up with another one like her. :-P<BR/><BR/>KB, that's a great idea! I'll pass that on to him.<BR/><BR/>Beth, this week is shaping up to be a bit better.

And that seemed to work. It sometimes disarmed her and she'd go into a verbal/mocking mode instead of physical. Then he could gather the kids and come here.katiebirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262129879015590898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-16078165289448891252009-02-15T23:03:00.000-05:002009-02-15T23:03:00.000-05:00Oh, man.

As a parent with both very young and adult children, all I can say is, my "little" ones are so much easier than the "big" ones ;).<BR/><BR/>What a mess!

Over the years she went from throwing glasses at him (hard enough to break) to stabbing him with broken bottles and screw drivers.<BR/><BR/>Luckily he never married her and now he and the kids are safely more than a 1000 miles away. We miss him but, it's worth it knowing that they're finally safe.<BR/><BR/>It's harrowing to go through that. I'm so sorry.katiebirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262129879015590898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-86806402264900725982009-02-15T08:54:00.000-05:002009-02-15T08:54:00.000-05:00Fretting, KB?

If we're lucky, The Boy will figure out that Snippet is not worth the effort. He's twice told Mrs. Fetched, "All I wanted was for someone to love me for me." Snippet, apparently egged on by her mom, is making things just as difficult as possible… and he might have been her best chance to have a halfway-decent life.Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-89879360124374696942009-02-14T23:55:00.000-05:002009-02-14T23:55:00.000-05:00I'm fretting.
