I can empathize with the first letter writer:

If her home is not large enough to accommodate everyone, then she should NOT be verbally or emotionally abused about it!

I was watching an episode of Adam-12 earlier today.  One of the situations that Reed and Malloy responded to made me do a double-take.

The first time I saw this episode, about 40 years ago, there was a LOT of things that I didn't know yet so some things went right over my head.  This particular situation that I was watching, again, made me realize that I was watching an NC situation unfold with the two police officers being placed in an awkward situation between a daughter setting healthy boundaries and an N who was HELL-BENT on FORCING her daughter to do what SHE wanted and blamed the daughter for her own drinking because the daughter REFUSED to OBEY the mother's orders!  (The N-mother's orders was for the daughter to leave her husband and kids and move back home with mother and live with HER FOREVER!)  Can't blame the daughter for saying NO and shutting the door!

Today's "Annie's Mailbox":

http://www.creators.com/advice/annies-mailbox/don-t-diss-the-drawal.html

On a side note, I may have had a problem solve itself recently.  Some time ago, I had mentioned Cousin Jackass bugging me with demands that a mutual friend "Friend" him on Facebook and I had explained to him that she will Friend him in her own time.  (Translation:  "People will NOT obey your dictates and your orders.  That is NOT the way Facebook works.)  The mutual friend NEVER DID "Friend" him.  Then I discovered that he DE-FRIENDED me.  COOL!   :D  One less headache to deal with!  THANK YOU!!  :lol:

I'm struggling for words right now.

First the massacre in Newtown, Connecticut.  Then, a few minutes ago, I received a phone call from my second cousin...the one who is homeless.  She was unable to find my phone number until today to call me.  During the phone call, I learned that her husband was gunned down three months ago.  She was too drunk to tell me any details before the call was terminated.  She did attempt to demand money...again.

Dysfunction just doesn't even begin to describe this mess!   :P

I'm really sorry, Bones. What a sad, sad end for him.
And it doesn't sound as though she's doing well at all.

What a relief that you DID survive and extricate yourself from those bioroots.

(Keep crocheting, I always think of you as that beautiful reef...)

love,

Thanks, Hops.  I really appreciate this.

One of the things I did do was look up some county resources to relay to a go-between where she is staying temporarily.  That's the best I can do.  I refuse to subsidize her drinking.

Regarding the last letter in "Dear Abby":

http://www.uexpress.com/dearabby/?uc_full_date=20121219

I think "Abby" is completely CLUELESS!!!!

These "kids" are both OVER 30 YEARS OLD!  The aunt had EVERY right to resume contact with her niece and nephew!  The mother of these two ADULT CHILDREN sounds like a typical N!

What I often struggle with is that the ONLY time I hear from NWomb-Donor's side of the family, (the homeless cousin is from that side of the tree), is when they want to DEMAND something that I CANNOT give or have NO INTEREST in providing!

Under the category of CANNOT GIVE......MONEY!  I'm a retiree, with medical issues, medical bills, struggling with a FIXED INCOME.

Under the category of NO INTEREST IN PROVIDING......subsidizing a relative's alcoholism and/or drug addiction; providing sex on demand because the NWomb-Donor has them convinced that I'm the "Family Whore".   :P

The more I look at NWomb-Donor's side of the Family Tree, the more I'm convinced that they are ALL BAT-SHIT CRAZY!!!!!

The first couple of letters in "Dear Abby" appear to be about N's:
