Uh, no.<BR/><BR/>Oh, yes! I love my little community. It has certainly grown on me. I wonder if my children will develop accents?<BR/><BR/>Kay, hopefully, they'll get a clue and come home...or accept help. Are these young people? Because I can speak from experience when I say that young people are hard headed and stupid.<BR/><BR/>I hope I raise my kids to escape my fate...but someone, I don't think so. Oh, God-willing, they'll escape the horrors of what I went through, but the let's-invent-the-wheel-because-mom-and-dad-don't-know-what-they're-talking-about phenomenon will continue.Iva https://www.blogger.com/profile/04310995664697030976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5582776205108563450.post-82144966868355022432009-03-13T23:47:00.000-04:002009-03-13T23:47:00.000-04:00We are on the other end... the people who want to ...We are on the other end... the people who want to help, are begging to help, telling the kiddos to "COME HOME" to Neb. So far they are resisting, even as we tell them all the ways we could and would help.<BR/><BR/>The other family is unwilling, unable to help like we could, yet clings to her (ddil's) heart and will not let go. <BR/><BR/>Despite her family being there, it's not a "safe" place to be. Not physically, emotionally, spiritually, but we can't make them come back. I just hope & pray it doesn't take a tragedy to make them see this is best. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the encouragement... it does work when "his" mama "butts in." ;o)Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633912756265339462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5582776205108563450.post-72518580723211280442009-03-13T20:21:00.000-04:002009-03-13T20:21:00.000-04:00Geosh ... I thought I was the only one that suffer...Geosh ... I thought I was the only one that suffered from that nasty Pride thang. Boy, do I hate to ask for help. It's like someone sticking bamboo sticks up my fingernails. Geez. [lol]<BR/><BR/>But we've all been there, done that (had to ask for help). <BR/><BR/>Well, I for one am so glad y'all live here. I'm glad your MIL had the initiative and kindess to help. And it's really nice to know you're living in a 'safe' place to raise the kids. Things are scary 'out there', you know.
