Won attorney fees in custody trial
Hopalong:
Skep,
Dunno if you want a thread for it, but just read your updated story.
OOF.
Just...OOF.
With much sympathy.
I can delete this or move it elsewhere if you like.

Eh... false alarm, Hops.
Only really "new" development is that bro is finally getting around to thinking spending his whole life in misery, while everyone around him is fighting, might not be such an inescapable "fate". That he really does have a choice. And since I'm well aware that Mom's sheer existence in the household, even after playing nanny for 14 years, is a good part of the problem; she wants to go "home"; and at 80 really needs some "back up"... I'll broach the idea of an assisted living place there, instead of all the way up in MI. Bro has been talking about wanting to go back, too. But I think he really means back in time...
Almost everything they remember - after 14 years - is either gone or so changed; they'd barely recognize it. Funny thing that; you don't even reckon with the passage of time when you're buried in self-misery or busy creating it through N-drama. Funny people... and I don't mean "humorous".

Oh, sKep:
I will be bouncing tactics off you; )
::going to look for update on sKep and grandchildren::
I hope you're doing OK, and you too, Tupp.

sKePTiKal:
I'm fine, Lighter... (momentary pause for hysterical laughter... hahahahahahahahaha!)
Phew. That's better. Check it out: Mom thinks there's some merit in the assisted living idea back home; but it's BRO who's going to have to dragged, screaming & kicking into the idea that Mom ain't gonna live forever... no WONDER SIL is a crazed harpie, right. Not so sure I wouldn't be, in that situation, too. God these people can be amusing, when I'm in my cynical, sarcastic, suffer no fools mode...
How are YOU?
Hopalong:
Wow. That's huge (thanks Lighter for letting us do a SKep sub-thread here!)
I'm REALLY glad to hear your Mom, Skep, is opeinig to the idea of a move to assisted living.
Your bro will have to catch on when he catches on. He really doesn't get yet how he's
missing a bullet, does he?
(I still reminisce sometimes over the 10 years I lived with Mom and what a nightmare
cost it was.)
