The weekend was nice.
My nephew was being babtized on Saturday, so the whole fam-damly got all dressed up and went. It was actually kinda fun, and the kids behaved, thank god! Afterward the whole family gathered at my brother in laws house for a family lunch. (good eats!!) Afterwards my oldest son went to a sleepover at a different cousins house.
On Sunday, it seems like everyone decided to come on down and visit! First was my Dad, and he stayed a bit trying to fix my laptop internet connection( don't ask!)
Then after he left, we headed over to my in-laws to see how my father in law was doing, as he had his galbladder removed a few days ago.
We visited there for a few hours and then came home. Nearly as soon as we were home, my nephew came over to help my Huby plant...I believe he is becoming a 'plant a holic'. I guess, whatever we can't eat,can, or freeze, we could feed to the animals though, so 'plant away!!.'
Then who should show up...but my Mom and Step dad...TOGETHER...
I don't much go into personal detail about ALOT of things...this is something that is very personal and near and dear to my heart.
My Mother moved out of their house about four months ago. And is filing for the big D. My step dad has had a very hard time with this, and calls me 4-5 times a week just to talk about things. He wants her back. Knows he messed up, should have appreciated her more...exc...
I don't know exactly where my Mom stands on everything...because I can identify with my Step dad alot more, in that I DON'T WANT THEM TO GET A DIVORCE...so basiclly my mom and I ignore the situation and talk about safter subjects.
At anyrate, My step-dad called me on Saturday night to say that Mom had called him and invited him over for dinner, and a movie...
Then he called FROM MOM'S PHONE early Sunday morning...to say not to come over today (that was the plan), because they were going to go for a drive...
Then they showed up here later on that night...
DO I DARE TO HOPE???
The deal is this...My little sister ( who talks more to mom about this situation then I can) tells me that Mom just wants to be friends with Papa...
That it is just habit that when they get together she holds his hand, exc,exc...
I am afraid for my Step dad..For his heart...When Mom left he had a break down.
He ended up in the mental hospital. He is getting counseling, now. He seems to be putting his life together best that he can after losing his wife of 22 years.
Mom, on the otherhand...I hear( our grape vine is very short) she is upping her dosage of anti-depressents, and drinking more. ( just whine, but everynight...)
I am soo worried that this could be too fast too soon. FOR BOTH OF THEM.
