If you had dealt with her, you'd feel she is beyond help as well. She practically tortured my husband when he was growing up. The things he's told me I shutter to even think about...

I believe you - no doubt - just know that she'll be out again sometime.

I knew a man who was evil incarnate - drug dealer, murderer - once I was looking at him, listening to him talk about something - and flames appeared in his eyes - I swear it! I looked over my shoulder but there was nothing there to reflect in his eyes, just blue sky. I looked back and the flames were gone. Really spooked me. (No, I don't do drugs and yes, I had plenty of sleep.)

I do believe humans can make hell on earth when they choose evil.

Conversely, I believe we can be angelic, heavenly - when we choose compassion, love, empathy - and you are one of those angels, Angie. You are making a piece of heaven for your husband. So glad he has you!

Thanks Angie for explaining. I didn't wanna step on your toes or invade your privacy for asking. I was just sorta confused, LOL. (happens often) To give peace w/in Brendon and the family this might possibly be just what needs to happen.

She does sound like she's done some pretty amazingly wrong and hurtful things. Hopefully if she does go to that big ol slammer she will receive some needed help.

Got two new jobs today - a GRE student and writing white papers for a firm that is getting into organic foods. Pretty cool stuff!

Sheryl, haven't you ever heard that insane people think that they're sane and that sane people think that they're insane? So......what are you again?

My Dad had mental problems and it always came up when he was having problems that he "was not insane". Sure......that's why we had to talk in whispers so the hearing devices couldn't pick up our voices!!! And why every person walking down the street was a hit man!! I have some pretty interesting stories I could tell about my Dad. He was paranoid schizophrenic.

You sound totally sane to me. I don't think sanity is all that great anyway! If you're hearing voices in your head, and they're making you laugh - well then. what the h?

No - seriously - why are worrying about your sanity? You really do sound perfectly normal.

Good news about the meds and good luck with them Angie! I'm sending you prayers that they work.

Diana, that is very exciting. My daughter sings and when she began teaching music, I was thrilled that she was using her gift.

My good news is that I'm going upstate Thursday morning and staying over until Friday. I'm going to drive around looking at some of the towns I'm thinking about.
I have to be there to get a feeling for it.

It will be fun to get away too!
