Wolf soul , Your mom may be just very tired , I have llots of singlre mom friends . They love their kids but being mom and dad is very exshusting. I don't know how they do it, I was always tired and I had help ,.

Slick you don't know how timely this thread is for me at 43 I just had to try to get my hubby and his absent father to get it ok between them . I had to to he has hurt our immedate famliy a lot. we treid and he (fil) was so mean to me that hubby said we tried and now the old Bas**d can die with out us. I don't have to take the blame which he has tried to put on me. He left Tim and his mom at age 5 then 15 years ago decide to pop up as if nothing ever happened. Father in law doesn't have the same thoughts on wives as Tims mom and the way she raised the boys,you see Tim and his brother beleive we are thier best friends and come before any other family member. Fil thinks only of himself and his wants and needs. So its my fault that Tim can't always run off to Play with dad and do the things he wants to. Arn't I a terrible person!!!! Tim says most the time he'd rather be doing laundrey with me than hunting with his bio dad. I have a great guy.
Sorry I got so wordy guess I needed to vent too. {{hugs }} to you Slick for making all remember life is short, we never know what can happen.
