Hi all:
Just a quick update before I run off to church. I miss going to church and need to go. A few days ago, I went on strike and forced my son and the outside caretakers to care for Mickey, while I spent a little "me" time. My brother attempted to pull me in to his care during this time and I would just inform him that I'm on strike and will not do any more "favors" as he called it.
I put my house up for sale as it was before my brother showed up. I contacted all our siblings and let them know the current status. I contacted my Prepaid Legal service and followed their advice by serving my brother with a 30 day notice to cancel our "verbal agreement" since he wants to fight me on finding other arrangements by leaving my home.
By the way, I have also been concerned that I lack "enough" spirituality myself because I couldn't seem to walk each day without anger and frustration as time slipped by. I thank you very much for helping me to put it all in proper perspective. I obviously suffer from depression and of course, negative thinking abounds. I can keep reading these posts and keep reminding myself that I've done very well and God knows all my strengths and weaknesses and I'm right here for a reason.
Thanks again to all of you...I hope your day is filled with laughter and loved ones.
