See me... I couldn't let it eat at me and wear me down like it's doing to you. I'd bring it up in a heartbeat and I can stir the pot as good as anyone. To be honest, the Taurus in me would just kick her ass (not really HER, but him if she were a he). Actually I'd have someone film it and I'd taunt the hell out of him and let him take the 1st swing. Then I'd give him a royal beat down, then I'd post the video on Youtube and call him out for another ass whipping. That's just me though. I guarantee you that the money that was gained from the fridge wouldn't be enough to cover the hospital visit, the lost work or the humiliation. Taurus FTW!

I guess that my suggestions would only make matters worse, in that case I like Cassie's suggestion about changing her $6 per patch. I'd also cut ties. You don't need someone like that weighing you down.

Well, I don't want to get into a fist fight with her. She's bigger and stronger than me. And I normally don't sweep things under the rug. I'll call someone out in a heartbeat! I really just don't know how to handle this particular situation. And it's not like she's going to own up to it even if I do bring it up! She'll hem and haw around it.

If I could cut ties, I would. Again, my extended family is T-IGHT! Together all the time. I already see her as little as possible. It's just tough. I do need to sit her down though....UUUGHHH

I also told her on our last trip to the ER (she was bleeding out from the head and needed stitches), maybe a year and a half ago, that I wouldn't do that again. That she'd have to call the ambulance. She made the comment on the way that she wasn't sure why these things kept happening to her. I stopped the car (in the middle of the road), put it in park and looked at her and said "K, I love you. And what I say is out of love. But do you ever think that you put yourself into situations that CAUSE these things to happen to you?" She just looked at me stunned and eventually agreed with me. And then I told her that it was the last time. It was time for some tough love. It's been hard, but I've done it.

I only picked her up one time. I don't want anything bad to happen to her, she IS family. But I told her that there wasn't ANY more picking her up. The next time, she walks!

My kitchen is closed so I can post up my Sunday report now.
Phone call tonight from my son was back to him demanding that if I loved him, I would get him released. I just can't do that. I can tell that in his state of mind that he isn't safe at home and we aren't safe to have him at home. What if he were to choose to walk out after we all went to sleep and just go somewhere, never to be seen again? I can't live with that fear.
In case you didn't see it above....I pulled out a 8929 calorie deficit this week!!!
I hope those of you on the struggle bus are able to join us back on the wagon this coming week!
