....it was nothing but a sh*t show.....she and I had a very nice gift exchange-but none of the kids got their Mom anything, not even a card....Tracy didn't cook a meal, because she wasn't going to all the trouble after the way things had been handled.....that nailed us though, because the kids all went their merry ways and didn't try to bring a plate of anything to us from their various stops, hell-her own Mom had an open house and we never got an invite....I'm not putting this out there to make anyone feel sorry for us, I just feel bad for Tracy because I know how wounded she is-even though she's got the RBF plastered on her mug.....things like this have made me lose the joy of Christmas....I still love spoiling her, but the rest of the magic is just gone......I never had the stereotypical family Christmas, being an only-I was treated more as a small adult and the other gatherings as a married man-we might have had a couple of drama free get togethers but that's about it...and now, Seth and his fiance are at the hospital-they have induced her labor and my 4th grandchild will be born today, but Mom and I feel like we're being pushed away....I love my son, but have developed an incredible loathing for his woman....she has revealed herself to be a manipulative little princess and he just hasn't seen his way clear to shutting her down, and now he's having a child with her....*sigh*....this is supposed to be a happy time, but this year has just sucked enormously.....sorry about the rant, but I know you folks will understand and forgive me.....just not a happy GNT at the moment.....
