They should have waited a little longer and told you about it gently.<BR/><BR/>Congratulations to your husband's new job. I wish him good luck and hope everything goes well.Heart of Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07542152478039483575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593290192293739137.post-31913048334966223082007-10-02T10:58:00.000+08:002007-10-02T10:58:00.000+08:00Louann, this has happened in our family too. Firs...Louann, this has happened in our family too. First, my husband's family, when his father died of leukemia. Your story sounds very similar to his. It's been over 20 years now, and his relatives are sill cold and selfish about the money. They haven't changed. And it's is sucha shame. It is their issue -- not yours. They are actively choosing that scarcity, instead of love. I'm so sad that they missed your 2-year old's birthday. That hurts. <BR/><BR/>When my Mom died, I had to deal with her husband's family. It was a nightmare. THey sent me certified letters from their lawyers on Christmas Eve, and again, the day before Thanksgiving. IT was horrible. The good thing about that situation was that we had an attorney,and it was legally handled and fixed. That helped me so much. Unlike my husband's -- like yours -- it's family, and they should treat you better.<BR/>Happy for your hubby!SusieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12631535541744210983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593290192293739137.post-7874101034259535932007-10-02T10:48:00.000+08:002007-10-02T10:48:00.000+08:00Good for you for the way you handled that exchange...Good for you for the way you handled that exchange with your aunt. I am totally baffled by their lack of compassion and understanding. It's sad when family does that to each other. You are so strong and so wise beyond your years, Louann. I am so sorry you have had to go through so much.<BR/><BR/>In better news, congrats on your hubby's job! He'll be back in no time and you'll be getting sleep again! :)<BR/><BR/>Jane, Pinks & BluesPinksandBluesGirlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14227588614069311168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593290192293739137.post-35652325132759526392007-10-02T04:15:00.000+08:002007-10-02T04:15:00.000+08:00Congrats on your husband's new job.

I am sorry to hear that even during grieving time, they'd bothered you with debts. True, debts should be payed, but they should really give you time to grieve.Shoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10268573561821187971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593290192293739137.post-80926061964473603062007-10-02T03:27:00.000+08:002007-10-02T03:27:00.000+08:00Congratulations to your hubby (and you!) on his jo...Congratulations to your hubby (and you!) on his job! That's fantastic!<BR/><BR/>I am in awe of the way you approach life. You've been dealt some difficult cards, but you refuse to be bitter or show resentment. You are an inspiration to us all!<BR/><BR/>http://chaoscontrol.wordpress.comSignora Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11355875304781787017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593290192293739137.post-16813351368115749482007-10-02T03:23:00.000+08:002007-10-02T03:23:00.000+08:00Oh Louann, you've shown tremendous restraint.

But at any rate, they are family - it's so unfortunate that they haven't provided you the support that you so deserve!<BR/>I'm glad to hear that your hubby got work! I'm also like you, takes me a while to sleep if DH is away on business too.<BR/>Hugs to you...Karen MEGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10834425321020756655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593290192293739137.post-50564726892200270502007-10-02T00:09:00.000+08:002007-10-02T00:09:00.000+08:00I have been reading your blog for awhile now.
