[quote=Anonymous]My daughter returned from seeing the "new brothers" and their families at the annual family reunion.  I was not able to attend this year sadly.  She stayed with them for 12 days and really enjoyed getting to know them.  They are amazingly loving, talented and funny.

My mom's health is not well.  I do not see her lasting even another year.  My first family brothers, the ones I grew up with, and my sister are all doing well though there has been much relational stress this year.  I'm going to be spending time with 2 of the brothers next weekend to remember the anniversary of our father's death and to just get together.  The last year has been quite a wild ride.  There has been many things that has happened that I wish Dad were around to talk to about.

1. difficulty between my mom and husband that put me in the middle and I paid for dearly just because I love them both
2. unexpected move that I did not want
3. extreme family issues (mom and the siblings "up here."
4. employer is a bit nuts and my work has been a revolving door. I have stayed on and tried to work to help improve the situation.  Unfortunately, I have had to obtain a different job, though it is a good one, I'd rather stay where I am at as I enjoy what I do, regardless of my boss.  I am happy for the incredible opportunity that I do have.
5.  because of my marital separation, I had to get a roommate to rent 2 rooms. I've known her for a long time, but you never really know someone until they live in your house.  Her financial integrity is highly lacking and it has hurt me financially.  I'm having a hard time getting her out due to "tenant rights."  
6. My son, daughter in law and grandson moved to another State to help start a church.

The great news is that my marital relationship, while we are separated, is still in repair.  We have not given up.  Now that we are further from my mom, it has allowed us to work on the real stuff. My daughter has started driving and is happy in life.  Our faith is stronger than ever.  My "up here" siblings and I are getting back to better relationship after the whole family blow up. I set pretty firm boundaries and kept to them, which was our saving grace. While I am sad to leave my current job, I know that being a more professional and consistent environment will be much better.  I also get to obtain training that is quite desirable and have an opportunity for growth.

My step mom and I keep in contact often.  We went down back in June on Father's Day.  We will be going down again in September.

Hope that you are having peace, joy and blessings in your life.  Thank you for reading.
