I'm glad your kids are okay. I always worried about mine. Thankfully S22 was already 16 when it all happened, and he was pretty grounded. S14 though, he was only 8, and he has grown up in a crappy environment. Not that I'm a bad mom, but I know I wasn't the best for awhile. And now, I may not be the best either, but I try.
I just notice that he's different from other kids sometimes. Part of that is rejection, the moves, losing friends, no friends in the neighborhood, etc...lots of stuff. So I worry about him sometimes. I hope he turns out okay.
But so far no drugs, pregnancies, jail, etc....with either one. And S14 always does well with behavior and such in school, earning awards, etc...So I guess that's a good sign? I hope. I still worry though.
So I just keep him busy with karate, piano, community service, clubs, and traveling. Now we're trying to get him into the academy. I think it will be good for him.

So you and W never talk about what happened? Hmmm.....I know you avoid the issue. You have that "avoidance" thing about you(said with love of course).
But does it ever scare you? I mean, do you ever worry that it might come up again? I always find that when things are unresolved, they eventually come back to haunt me at some point. I was just wondering how you handle it. I know guys are different...just wondering.

A list? You bet and I'm sure it's longer than yours. I'm a disabled Vet and have a fairly extensive list what's broke. I'll tell you about my recent experiences with the VA sometime...it's quite humorous.
Hmmm, I'm posting on your thread and you are posting on mine. Yep. I was rated at 30% and, after taxes, that amounts to about $100 extra a month (oh boy!). I keep reminding myself that it was fun while I was doing it...

LOL. Almost like old times. Man, I had fun on those nights when we were all on here talking to each other. I'm glad I found all of you. It helped me get through the toughest times.
Thanks for being there and sticking it out with me. You're still a good friend.
Anyway, I know I'm older now, but I can still keep up with you.
$100 a month...sounds like enough to spoil that grandchild, if you ask me.
I do hope you're okay though??
