[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 449069, member: 3305"] DDD... Thank you so much for always taking such great interest in my family...it is SO obvious you know my sons well. I don't know if I am the glue that holds my family together but I will never give up on giving them all my love. Now, a strengthend love, is what I think I need most...not a poor little boy love, ya know. Mattsmom... Awww, don't for a minute think you've offended me or were too hard on me, not at all. In fact, you guys give me the gumption to say ENOUGH ALREADY...You are a MAN now, it is time to put your strong will into action and change your behavior, your mind, your LIFE. No more pity party. No more mamma to the rescue and No more excuses!!! I appreciate your thoughtful reply...You are a sweetheart, ya know it. Thank you. Janet... Cory taught you some valuable lessons and gave you an insight that not all of us have here. I can really appreciate where you're coming from...after being burnt over and over again.
