Thanks Korrie, I do love him, but he can't seem to understand that my daughter is my first concern. He actually told me that considering what all she's done to me I should be wanting her gone. It doesn't matter what she's done, what matters is why she did it and finding a way to fix the problems that caused it to begin with. One big issue for her is having a father who says he'll be there and never is. Now, she's got a step father who does the same thing. If she comes out of her room he gives dirty looks, if she tries to talk to me, he turns up the TV, It's just ridiculous. It's not like she was a surprise to him. When I met him, she, my other daughter, her husband, and their baby were living with me! My whole family is holding their breath and praying that I don't give in to him and let things go back to they way they have been. Not to worry, I'm so tired of living this way. I'd rather be scrimping and barely surviving and have my dignity. The last thing I need is more disrespect in my life. Oh well, I gave him 4 1/2 years to grow up and learn, and I have been more than patient. It's long enough. Ok, I'm through ranting now. I stepped on the scale this morning and was not happy! It said 226 so that's 5 pound gain. Of course TOM is starting today or tomorrow so I am a bit bloated too. I'm not gonna worry about it too much for the next few days. New big time focus will be starting Jan. 1 2006 I can't believe a whole year is gone already!!
