I made my decision because the card was in the house as I bought a box of cards at the Dollar store. I sent it. I didn't

send any money they will be more upset with that. and it was signed from my son. Rich and I didn't sign it. I will not call or take any calls from them. I was asked if I would be friends with them if they weren't my family. No.I woundn;t. A couple of years ago. I sent a sent a Christmas card with 100 dollars. They send it back as it was Jesus birthday not theirs. I told them to keep it anyhow and was told I just wanted to do that to show Them off. I send that 100 dollars at Christmas to the food bank. Thank you everyne for your posts. I have cut them off. I am sorry I didn't answer sooner. But one of my meds got stuck in my throat. and Rich took me to the ER last night to have it removed. I thank you with all of my heart. Love, Debbie.

It never hurts to be the bigger person. From your postings not only on family but on other things, I feel I have grown to know you and know you are a kind person. You did what you thought was the right thing to do and that is what makes you, you. Keep being the person you are and thank you for the entertaining posts.

Cast them away and be done with them. Life is too short
to be carrying this burden around as much as you do.

When I say anything... I mean your time, your energy, your money, your well-being, the list just goes on and on.



It's unfortunate that it comes down to this, but it sounds like they need the power to make your life a living hell. I know it's not going to be easy for you, but it's time to move on from the abuse.



Glad your okay. Is there anyway your meds could be crushed up and put in your soft foods by any chance?


Love you, Debbie!
