Yes.. I am pretty sure We are crazy
Soooo remember my last post about running away.. dropping everything...
WELL We did... but not planned.. but sort of planned...
perhaps I should explain a lil bit
without too much detail... My Father needed help cleaning out and sorting my Grandmothers house.. He and his wife have lived in her basement for 10 plus years.. as well as His wifes son who is two years older than me.... LONG story here.. for next time perhaps
Any ways It still breaks my heart but my Grandmother passed away in October.. I called and spoke with her often, till she started to suffer from Dementia... it upset her to talk to me...
My dad and his wife ( not my mother.. another ugly story) moved into my grandmothers space upstairs.
In November his wife found out she had cancer AGAIN.
Blah blah blah... her and her sister giving away my grandmothers life to what ever person she decided it needed to go to... My father is a wimp.. and refuses to make decisions..
I finally insisted My family come and help as his wife is sick.. it was agreed..
We left our whole life behind... with the thought of a two week visit....
My hubby found tons of great job leads here, and he and my father were getting along great. it was decided that since my Grandmothers house has three bedrooms upstairs and three in a finished basement..
it was uncomfortable at first as my youngest has never seen his grandfather...but we got along ok.. i waited on this woman hand and foot.. through her chemo.. the sickness that lingers afterwards... the pains...
I listened to her scream at my father every single night about everything... WE tiptoed around the house daily.. bowing down to what ever this woman required...
mean while my Father and hubby were gone most days.. hubby either looking for work or various jobs. who knows where my father was...
Then the BREAKDOWN!! this woman went nuts.. on us.. accusing us of destroying her sisters things and stealing all her stuff.. that by the way is my GRANDMOTHERS!!!
it was hostile... and my father kicked us out!! Mind you along with all this bowing to her, we also gave my father money to help with her meds and gas to her appointments.. we purchased healthy food for her to eat.. WE cooked every meal and had stocked the cupboards better.. intending to settle in for a couple months while we all saved money splitting the costs...
WE became HOMELESS!!!! or at least stranded... three kids, two vehicles... our clothing. Thats it. over half our life still back where we came from. not enough money to get back... not enough left for hotels... applying everywhere..Day Labor..
Now mind you this is all TRUE.. not a crazy made up story...
My life is this strange..
ALSO I pray still.. and await the Lords inspiration before doing anything drastic.. like in the bible where it says Pray always.. that is me...
I felt it was the right thing to do.. this 2 week "visit" to help....
wonder where we willl be lead next...
Trying to stay positive...
Next post: homeless shelters and free lunches.... what these places really need.
