[QUOTE="Star*, post: 178508, member: 4964"] Daisy Isn't there any CAT in you at all? Before her demise due to her own children my xmil sent an email to me that went on and on about how poor she was, and the things she didn't have and how hard the world has been and what rotten kids she had and how she didn't have money for her medicines. I wrote back - and never received an email again. My email simply said : XX I'm sorry you are having such financial difficulties. I too, have often wondered just exactly how special God has thought I was to not only pay for my divorce, but work three jobs to make sure my son has a home, lights, water, heat, clothes, shoes, books, papers, pencils, toys, activities, day care, (and my list went on and on) even including the occasional quarter for the gumball machine at Kmart on the way out to the parking lot to get in my 20 year old car with no a/c on a 110 degree day with a pouting but understanding 6 yo. child because I never got so much as a quarter from his FATHER. And it went on to say how awesome the people were at the food bank, and how we have to get up 2 hours early to get in line at the Salvation Army to make sure we can get some kind of donations for Christmas, and how it was such a revelation to not eat so that my kid could because well, You know I must stay thin - and that I've got to figure out how I can work 3 jobs and then donate time for the clothes bank to get free clothing for me and Dude, plus having the ability to make a summer vacation out of a pack of marshmallows, a fork and a bic lighter on a blanket. I'm serious - this was the most pathetic and sarcasitc letter I ever wrote. I think you could have fun with this - and possibly get your point across, because if MY xmil "got" my point - surely your Sdaughter will. Honestly - I'm glad Nicole saw her for what she is - but I can't wait for the email around November that says she has no money for Christmas. At that point I would use my line about standing in line at the Salvation Army at 6:00 AM (really I did that) but you get my drift. Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
