[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 721528, member: 13303"] YS is doing very well. We are not discussing a discharge date yet, but at the rate we are going, that day may come sooner rather than later. Obviously this is a miracle for which we are very thankful. The skeletons are now piling up at our feet as the gloves are coming off and certain toxic family members are making their feelings well known. I married into a family full of crazy. I am doing okay. I am not related to any of these lunatics for which I am so grateful. My poor wife is really suffering today. I have to let her clean up her own mess. I am noticing many similarities between myself and my wife's ex husband. Most of them around Al Anon issues. It is not a surprise my wife picked first him and then me. She needs a spouse with a gentle and calming spirit to ground herself. I have blamed him in the past for many of our issues with the boys. I am growing fond of him as I watch him struggle through this tragedy. It takes a lot to recognize one's dysfunction and act to correct it. He is not there. He may never get there. That does not make him a bad person. I am taking time this weekend to see my flawed but loving family of origin. Many of my family members have passed on, others are toxic and my mother wisely separated herself from them years ago. So my tribe is small but I appreciate them more and more each day. I have a niece and nephew whom I adore. My niece may be turning into a Difficult Child....stay tuned for updates. [/QUOTE]
