I wondered why everyone was congratulating you!:)
I missed this! :D
I have everything crossed that can be crossed - even my hair!!!
let us know what happens! :D
xoxoxo
Kelly, best of luck to you! I hope you can get out of your current situation and soon. You deserve a lot more happiness and peace than you're getting. I just wish we could do more for you. I hope you get good news soon.
Lotsof thoughts and prayers for you and your clan, Kally. I hope this apartment works out for you!
Good luck Kelly, I really hope everything works out with this apartment.
Ugh....I hit a button and it deleted my whole update!!! UGH!!!
OK, real quick. I'm going to leave home in a few to go meet with the person I spoke about in my prior update - the one who responded about having an apartment and wanting to meet.
The place is an ArchStone Community....which means its VERY NICE and VERY SAFE! Kristen is almost a physical therapist, so we're both facinated and in the same field! The other amazingly wonderful thing??? SHE LOVES CATS and cannot wait to meet mine!!! She wanted to hear all about them and didn't flinch (at least on the phone) when I said I had four that come with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The cost is a bit expensive, but I'll be able to manage. There are some possible changes coming up for me work and salary-wise, for the good, and with my spousal support and regaining FULL control of MY paychecks and spousal support, plus my insurance payout...I'm set. Thank you God!!
I'll be back online when I return to let you all know how it goes. It was so great talking to Kristen, we agreed on so many things and have A LOT in common.
OK, I'm off to print out pics of my kitties so she can see, and fall in love with, them. ;) :D :)
Be back to update in a few hours. I'm very fortunate to have this online time at home today. My parents are otherwise distracted for reasons I'll go into later.
Love you guys!!!! :)
Tell her you have a whole website of people for references if she wants 'em!
WILL DO!!!!! Seriously, I'll totally do it!! :)Quote:

I don't want to "force" anything.
Hugs, Kelly :)
God bless you, Kelly. I so hope this works out for you. So far it sounds perfect!

Kelly, I sure hope that everything went well and that this will be you and your furkids new home.:) Good luck and I look forward to hearing a wonderful update.:)
Oh......My......Gosh!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its and my new roomie are WONDERFUL, more than WONDERFUL!!! Oh my gosh, I"m sooooooo excited and so happy!
EVERYTHING seems so perfect, like this is an opening, a way out that has been planned for ME, heaven sent!!!
The place is beautiful and Kristin can NOT wait to meet my fur angels. When I pulled out the 4 pages of pictures, she said, "I KNEW you were going to bring me pictures, this is so cool! They're sooooo gorgeous and I can't wait to meet them!"
We ARE telling management we have a kitty or two, depending on the pet deposite. If my credit is too bad, she's OK with us making up some legal document between ourselves. YAY!! I have to go, mom's coming.
I'll update more tomorrow.
So happy to read your wonderful news Kelly!!!!!
That sounds so great! I hope everything works out. We'll all be so happy for you to get out of the hell that you've been in.
Me too, Val. You know, I've tried to keep positive about everything, but it really, truly is hell there. As soon as I clicked off PT, she walked in and started yelling at me for a non-issue. I immediately shut down - as she stood there watching to be sure I did - when to my room and texted Staci that if in the next month I feel bad or sad about my leaving without letting them in on my plans to remind me of how horrible, unloved and unimportant she makes me feel. Something that IS, now I see, abuse. She makes my life a constant emotional rollercoaster - the EXACT thing I MUST avoid to not get sick.Quote:

Thank you all so much for loving me, for you concern.
OK, gotta go. Starting to cry at work isn't a good thing.
Love you!!!
XOXOXOXO
That is great news! I hope this will work out for you and you'll be able to have your cats back with you. :)

Kelly i am thrilled for you, this truely sounds like heaven sent doesn't it?
Everytime i read your posts I feel so sad to think your mother does not realize what a beautiful daughter she has inside and out,one thing to be thankful for Kelly, you are nothing like that,it takes a very special person to rise above the abuse they have in life and not repeat it, you are indeed that SPECIAL person.
Sending you lots of http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/i.../GJ-Hugs01.gif
and a ton of LOVE, all the best sweetie. :)
http://www.gjdesigns.dk
That is sooooooooo wonderful!! I will be praying for you that this all works out and that within a short time you will be living in that beautiful home with your cats, just as it should be. The next chapter of your life will be so much better. Hang in there! :)
We love you Kelly. Please pm when you can so I will know you are ok....
How much is left on the Balance for Noahs "vacation"?
And I will continue to pray for you. *HUGS* Katie and kitties

It's been over a week since the last donation was received by Balcom Canyon.

on Monday - Friday to donate by credit card.
Give Early ~ Give Often ;)
Phred, Brody's mom made a very generous donation that will go towards it. I'll be paying that Friday along with what I can pay. Should make it go down a little.
Great news, NM. Fingers crossed that it's clear sailing ahead for you all.
Kelly, I'm so glad to hear that your meeting with your hopefully new roommate went well and that she already loves your cats.:) I hope that from now on that things start going smoothly for you and that your health remains good too. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.:)
I put my contribution in for Noah's spa last Thursday so hopefully it will help a little...

I've said it so often, but each time, it comes from my heart. You are all sooooo very wonderful to me...I'm the luckiest person, ever! You have all blessed me more than I can imagine, more than I can say.
Thank you so very, very, very much.
:) Love, Kelly :)
P.S. I'll update on the apt in a bit. I have to finish a project first.
XOXOXXOXXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Kelly how anyone could not love you is beyond me anyhow, you are the sweetest, loveliest person i have had the privilige and pleasure to meet online, and i know you are like that in real life too, one can only wish everything of the best for you, cannot wait to hear about your appointment, hurry finish your project lol. :)
(((((Carole)))))
Thank you for your kind words, you're so sweet! :) :o
Well, so far everything is going well with the apartment. Kristin is VERY, VERY cool and we're working out my credit issues and even the cat deposit between us. I'm meeting her tomorrow to give her a check for the first months rent and half of the deposit she paid. I'm getting an insurance check in a week or so from the car accident/s I was in, so I have that money to help me move in and also have a buffer in the form of a savings account in case I get sick and need extra money to keep me independent.
The check I'm giving her tomorrow after work came from my grandma who is #1 keeping my 'escape plans' secret and #2 has been very supportive of me when I need to talk, vent, cry or just need prayers. When I get the insurance check, I'll pay back my grandma for the money I need to get to Kristin. :) :D :)
So....its all going as planned. My only obsticals now are:
*Waiting until 2/2 to move (because its a Saturday)
*Figuring out how to move things from my parents house
*How/what to tell them after I'm out of there
Any advise, ideas are much appreciated.
Hugs,
Kelly
P.S. I'm planning on asking my brother to help me move 2/2. I have my futon (now my bed), my desk and a bunch of boxes in a storage unit we share. I just have to be CERTAIN he keeps my move secret. I'm 99.99999% certain he wouldn't tell my parents, but I'm being EXTRA cautious.
K, I know this move will be good for everyone, including your folks. I hope your brother respects your decision and knows how to stay loyal to you. It sounds as though he too is subject to your Mom's rath. I trust you have enough love left that you will be civil and kind when you tell her. I wouldn't think anything else of you, but boy, can times like this (coming up) can be ugly. Take the high road honey, and keep saying things "positive", even if things turn dark on the moving day. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best. I bet your folks will be surprised and feel as though you did things behind their back. They seemed to give you no choice!
I wish you luck, and a smooth transition to your own place. I bet once you get there, you will be thrilled.
I wish you were closer. I have a fully furnished apartment that my Mom is leaving (probably this weekend).....and it is just right for the person needing a quick place - and in a nice environment.
Anyone else need a place to live.....furnished......???
Keep us posted dear Kel.
Best of luck to you, Kelly!!
I have an idea! How about your brother arranges to take your parents out for the afternoon on that Saturday ... takes them to dinner or something. That would give you time to move out safely, and you can signal him on his cell when it's all clear, without them knowing he was involved.
Dear Kelly, I wish you the best of luck and happiness with your move.
You are getting some good advice here - I would add that maybe you tell your parents how grateful you are for all that they have done for you. It sounds phony - but truly they have given you a place to live - well, maybe not "live" but at least reside. I am just following up on the "positive" suggestions that Sasvermont has given you.
I would at all costs try to avoid any confrontation with your parents. You don't need the stress - it isn't good for your health. Keep your mind on how happy you are going to be in your new home and WITH YOUR CATS!
Also - will you be able to immediately transfer your mail to the new address?
I wouldn't want to see that insurance check go astray!!! You are counting on it.
When you get settled in - take a deep breath - and know that life will now be much better and happier for you.
I will put a check in the mail this week for Balcom for Noah's care. How I remember that little boy when he was at my home. He thought he was in charge until I had a little talk with him - and he looked at me like WHOA
and then backed off. He's orange - and comes with attitude:D
Kelly:
Moving sucks any time but in your instance I can only imagine how stressful it will be, but as Mz Gini says, keep reminding yourself of the good times ahead and how nice it will be to once again have a kitty purr you to sleep. It's so nice that Kirsten love kitties and it sounds like everything will work out OK.
I would love to donate but unfortunately I've nothing to spare at the moment. Please forgive me. :( But I am praying hard for you sweetheart. After all you've been through, you deserve all the good things that life has to offer.
Big {{{hugs}}} from me
xoxoxo
Hi Kelly, only 18 more sleeps until the big day! :D It will be an exhausting day but I'm sure but it will all be worth it. I like Karen's idea about having your brother keep your parents occupied. But if you need him to help move the heavy stuff, maybe your grandma could get involved with occupying them by inviting your parents over for lunch that day or something and then you and your brother could quickly move out your stuff.
If you pre-write a letter to your parents over the next few weeks and put in it all that you want to say, you can leave it at their house so they have some sort of explanation when they get home. And then you could get in touch with them by phone later that night and talk about it some more. It might give them a chance to absorb it a bit at a time.
If you're not 100% sure that your brother will not able to keep the move a secret, maybe you could ask him to do 'something' (lunch, the movies or some kind of favor) with you on February 2nd to make sure that he reserves that day for you and then when he comes over, you can let him know what you really have planned.
I'm sure you'll fine tune all your ideas over the next few weeks as 'the first day of the rest of your life' draws nearer! Hang in there and try to stay postivie. :)
Kelly - would your grandma find 'something for your parents to do' on moving day? Something to get them out of the house?
I hope your brother can handle himself if they find out he helped! OH WAIT - he lives far away! :D
HUGS to you girl!
Actually if I remember correctly, the grandma that she is referring to is her PATERNAL grandma so I doubt if her mom has much to do with her. Honestly, I'm surprised she allows Kelly the freedom to see her! The "parent's" that Kelly refers to is actually her mom and STEP DAD - they have been married for about 8 years.Quote:

Kelly, I'm glad to hear that Kirstin is helping you with your credit and deposit.:) I hope that everything goes smoothly with your move. You've already been given a lot of great advice so there's nothing more that I can add. I know that once you're in your own place with your furkids that your health will get much better and you'll feel so much more relaxed.:) Please take care and continue to keep us updated.
Not long now Kelly!!!
Next time Mommy Dearest starts you just repeat to yourself "PT loves me" over and over again. She may not appreciate you, but we do!
I didn't go back and re-read what you said about your parents having control over your finances...but, how are you addressing that issue? Will they hold or keep your money from you once they realize you are moving out? Is it more that you are expected to turn it over to them, rather than them having control over it? I wasn't clear on that, but, you need your money, and if they have it...well....
Taking everything you say as true, I would probably arrange for a police officer at the time of the move. While it might be your mom/stepdad, the way you have described some of their actions is a little off, and you want to make sure this happens exactly as planned.
