Hope you passed on the beer! I'm taking my hijack back onto your thread!
I understand what you're saying, but I do think if kids have one good parent (which they do in your case) they will turn out alright. I was raised by my single dad (mom died when I was 4) and my brother and I turned out fine. I had him as a good role model to follow. I think at some point you just have to help your boys realize that their mom has no interest in doing stuff with you and them for whatever reasons, and not bothering to go down the cheeseless tunnel of asking her over and over only to hear no.
I hope you understand I just say b/c I consider you a good friend (even though we've never met!).
Yer, I passed on the beer, and the Maragarita mix was eimtting some Mexican chant that I had to block out when I was putting stuff away?
Anyway, I wouldn't be so concerned of the boys outcome IF they were with me as they should have been. However, they are under her "care" 90% of the time, so my 10% is pretty hard pressed to be the best parent I can be with that time. Sorry about your Mom. I will say however, the death of parent, and the break up of a family are two entirely different experiences although tramatic in their own respects, but entirely different.
Truth be known, I think it's been almost a month now I haven't directly asked anything of her on the matter. I think I last left it at she knew she was welcome to join and left it at that. So, I think I'm out of that tunnel.
Thanks Karen, I can use all the friends I can get.

True. My dad died when I was 15. I thought he hung the moon and walked on water. So did my mom. Traumatizing in a different way.
You sound good D. Proud of you for passing on the beer and the margaritas. That is really hard stuff to give up.

Thanks hon, now only if the head doc would just BELIEVE, that would be a whole different story. She gave me this scornful (I'm call'n b/s) look, "you've been intaking how much for how long and just stopped?". Um, yeah, it's easy when you say to yourself enough is enough. Keeping up with it can be rough at times, but hey.
So, yeah, me and my vivid little imagination will be back at the bar ordering a hair of the dog that bit me....................
In dream land of course.

Well, that was a mood kill, NCB has to go and gloat how "I'm a going to the race this weekend", that I've been trying to get to for 3-4 weeks now! Now my dreamland is going to be preoccupied with kick'n his arse!
