I hired a PI when my kid was in high school because she had a stalker of her own and I wanted to be well aware of what was going on there and this was after I had talked to the cops about him. <br /><br />So I'm glad you could laugh along with it even though it was cringe-worthy. <br /><br />Did the margarita date get set? :)Kerinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19952080681569759.post-49172225969112234792010-10-16T17:21:50.879-05:002010-10-16T17:21:50.879-05:00I certain won't flame you! You are absolutely ...I certain won't flame you! You are absolutely correct. This is a thing that he does by choice. Sadly, this doesn't make it any less heartbreaking for me to watch... :-( Sad, mostly, because this was item number one in our break-up--the family money distribution was decidedly lopsided, and I wasn't hip to that.

I'm sure we all give in to certain things with our own children that, if it were someone else's kid, we wouldn't consider doing that for them. That's the trick to being married, though--just agreeing on that kind of stuff. All of these things are very sad for me to talk about and think about--I mean, I love him, and there was never really a question of that, just, "can I watch this continue to happen to someone I care about" and, I really can't.Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17392167891073936045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19952080681569759.post-66719876510813850222010-10-16T16:15:39.610-05:002010-10-16T16:15:39.610-05:00(don't flame me, Shel, but if he stopped being...(don't flame me, Shel, but if he stopped being their bank, he wouldn't be their bank.
