4. What jewelry do you wear daily, if any?
-Whatever matches my eyes....just kidding, no jewelry except for my wedding band and the clock is ticking on removing that.
Not sure on the good person part, but I appreciate it ma'am. When someone chooses their mental illness over their marriage and child at some point you have to take into consideration your child's safety over your overwhelming and crippling sense of responsibility toward the person you no longer know. Doesn't change the fact of still feeling like a failure though....strange days.ghost19

The sad truth is you can't help or change someone who doesn't want it, too. The failure isn't yours.Not sure on the good person part, but I appreciate it ma'am.

And we're glad to have you here.I'm a newbie here but have really enjoyed reading and posting these last few days. When I read this thread, I see how friendly and supportive all of you are to each other and it warms my heart. I don't get out much because I have lots of health issues, but I feel quite at home here with people who share and care about each other. I'm so glad I found this site!
Yes ma'am. I'm having to learn that but it is not easy at all. Thank you for the kind words.The sad truth is you can't help or change someone who doesn't want it, too. The failure isn't yours.
...bro, it's seldom easy to accept the failings in others that you have been with and loved for many years...you have invested your heart in it, and it would be unnatural not to feel some guilt when the wheels fall off...but, she has chosen this path to the exclusion of you and your child.....SHE made the choice, not you.....the logic of the LEO is still in you, and the perp in this case ain't Ghost19....you be there for the little fella and let fate dog her footsteps.....Yes ma'am. I'm having to learn that but it is not easy at all. Thank you for the kind words.

I don't think we've had any new questions in a while - I'll give it a go.

Hi!!! It's good to see you here! I've been missing you much.August 7, 2016
1. If you had the chance to do it all again, tell me: would you? could you?
Maybe si, maybe no. Depends on what 'it' is.
2. Are you a french fries or baked potato with your steak kind of person? Or no steak at all?
Steak always. No potatoes--nasty things.
3. Shower or bath? Morning or evening?
Shower when I need it--usually morning, but sometimes evening
4. What jewelry do you wear daily, if any?
Wedding ring. Copper bracelet from my kids. Usually a small pair of gold earrings that look like daisies, given to my mom by my dad, and then to me after he died. Silver and opal cross, given to me by my niece.
5. What is your very first memory?
Being at the doctor to have a Q-Tip removed from my ear--I really jammed it in there. I can remember looking down at the exam bed, and I could see my round tummy, legs, and those old fashioned, really thick training pants. I know I was very small, because it looked like the bed stretched out forever past my feet. My mom says I was about 18 mos old when I did that, so that jibes.
6. Do you/did you like your parents?
Most of the time. My dad could be a hard guy to love--he was a very functional alcoholic for most of my life--but I loved him a lot. He gave me a spine that my brothers lack(ed), confidence, and self-respect, because he always believed in me. My mom is an enabler, God love her, but she loves us all very much (to the point of spoiling my brothers, unfortunately). It's gotten harder since her MS has started changing her personality; she's a different woman than the one I grew up with. Still, I'll always love her.
7. What do you wear to work?
Whatever I want, until I get an out of the home job. Then I'll have to spiff it up a bit
8. Do you have any stickers on your car? What are they?
Yup. One for my favorite coffee shop, one for our Arts festival, one for a local Americana music group, one for a new local bookstore. I might have one for my favorite local pizza joint, too--can't remember if that one fell off.
9. What's your favorite Summer Olympic sport to watch?
None.
10. What brand/flavor of coffee/tea/soda do you prefer during the summer?
Coffee--usually Maxwell House or a blend from the aforementioned coffee shop
Tea--Tetley, if bagged, but usually loose tea from the same shop: green, camomile, or peppermint
Soda--I rarely drink soda. If I do, it's usually a Coke.
