Could use some hand-holding next couple of days.

18. Kind of did, finally,

after which she said 'You are dead to me. Don't expect to see me until your funeral.'

IMAGINE that, after her dear husband had just complained about her bitching at me (he didn't use that term; I just did here) (in their car, on way to my broken-down car which was back at church, which drive I had told her was not necessary; I was prepared to take a taxi,) telling me to call AAA NOW, after they'd said call when you get TO your car, and I finally said my only negative thing to her, and this in 'public,' SHUT UP. Her husband then exploded at both of us, kind of/almost apologizing for doing such to me his mother-in-law, but I think most of it was directed at her, in fact. Basically told us both to shut up, in other words.

He said 'THIS on the day I just buried my best friend!' She really was/is an ass, and I ended up in the middle of that. I did apologize to him, as I left to get into my car (and wait for AAA.) Is that first ONE sentence???!!!!

Too tired to explain the whole thing now, but you ALMOST nailed it, mop. AND/but, most of the day, with other family members, was fine, sweet, and warm.

Now listening to stuff on the Hill. Sound/feels like there's something in the air. Stars??? Full Moon was couple nights ago.

Thanks




P.S., and this for all: First, THANKS for your thoughts.

Just got an idea, and NOT drinking; rather pooped but not relaxed enough to sleep. (And then there's the Hill!) Those who haven't yet might want to check the above, to mopinko, and mop, thought?:

The unpleasant and unfortunate chapter with son in law and daughter, in car, described here, suggests frustration on his part of a grander type than just this day, as he said, sometime during the 'You two stop talking' conversation, something like: 'After 9 years,' or 'after all I've heard for 9 years,' or somesuch. 9 years is probably amount of time they've been together; married Sept. 2, 2011. A friend of mine who knows them suggested to me, a month ago, that Ed has been 'put upon' by daughter 'forever,' and has put up with it due to 'insecurity' (not the right word,) but he apparently hadn't dated much before meeting her, and was taken with her. Of course, I think its great to hear my daughters are objects of love at first sight, and when I like the guys, which I do, I'm pleased.

POINT is, tho, that this incident MIGHT give Ed the incentive or opportunity to do something about daughter's bullying. She does it to her sister, she may do him to some extent, and recently has done something like that to me (my husband suggested.) As I think daughter needs psychiatric help, THIS might give son in law opportunity to suggest 'Couple counseling,' which might lead to serious help for her.

Under right circumstances (time etc,) I might suggest such to him. I'm sure he wants to keep it together, AND probably doesn't want to contemplate living with the same b.s. for the rest of their lives, AND doesn't want to have children under these circumstances.

Thoughts? AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
