Unkind opinions

I wanted this site to be nothing but good memories, but along with good come bad. Last night the Allreds had a birthday party for Peggy and Kirk. While I was there everyone started talking to Rick about his new job in Milford. I expressed my feelings about not wanting to sell my house and move to Milford. My mother-in-law attacked and told me, more or less, that I'm a loser, I don't have a job, I would be stupid to move to Logan to be near Megan, and that all the decisions I've made are wrong.

It goes into much more detail than that! But it hurts to bring it up. All I can say is she has more or less lost me, Kaden and Megan and her family. Kyle will probably continue seeing her, but I'm done. The thing that hurt the worst is that Rick wouldn't say anything. He can't stand up to his mother and he told ME to leave. I didn't do anything, I wasn't the one who was being mean, it was her. Rick thinks I'm in the wrong, so where is the love and security in this marriage. Gone when mommy enters. She told me that "her kids turned out great!" I wanted to say, but I didn't, that "yea they turned out ok considering all the abuse they were forced to endure in their childhood and the fact that the girls have spent thousands on counseling and the boys just go out and cheat." To the abuser, that's great. I wasn't abused as a child, to me that's not ok.

Look at her picture in the Christmas blog, it's probably the last I'll take. I've put up with her for 26 years, no more. In the beginning she would be drunk and tell he she hated me. Rick made excuses for her and told me to ignore it. I did, I was in love with her son. I won't ignore anymore! Time to go into "protection" mode. I'll be looking for a job, probably in Logan.

However, I'm a lucky person! I've got the greatest kids and the most beautiful grandbabies. You should have heard 2 1/2 year old Cole sing "I am a Child of God". Oh, so cute.
