I really intended to update more frequently... but well life.

My family is turning into a Redneck version of ( Medea )

Wow! I am so sorry. I just hope the bitca can somehow be gotten out of their lives. It seems to me that the 3 oldest are old enough to get away from her somehow but I'd be really worried about that youngest daughter who is being kept from her father and who is probably getting a distorted view of her dad as the mom vents her rage and tries to manipulate things.

I'm not sure I would have had the strength to walk away at their age. They are upper-middle class but in this area that comes off as affluent. IE: leaving mommy would be like getting off welfare - none of them have ever had to live within their means - they get cars and a rockstyle lifestyle, sleeping late 'working' for the family business & credit cards. Walking out and working to make rent on some little dive would be a rude awakening so they hang by the pool and let mom expense the cell phones, computers and other toys to the company. If they moved in with dad he would expect them to get jobs or go to school and take responsibility ( ... )

Thanks. And they are so much a part of us that you take them with you inside even if you do manage to get away.

Thank you! That just made my day.

I keep a tremdous amount of Slash on my PDA and always wonder what people reading over my shoulder think.

Hugs to you!
BTW, I was on the bus and this girl was reading a Buffy story. I was totally excited, and then she says, "I really like the Xander/Spike stories."
If I knew then what I know now... (I was into slash then, but I would scare her now by naming all of my favorite writers.)
Plus, I was reading zine fic and have people tell me to 'study hard'. Sure, I'll get right on that.
