Well Christmas was pretty good. Went to my Mom’s house and had turkey & ham.<P>The Wife gave me a lightweight jacket. No card. She called the house at 10 & 11 PM on 25th. We weren’t home. Said she would call on Sunday morning. She didn’t. She called about 8:45 tonight but again, we weren’t home. I left the kids at SIL’s house & I’m going back up on Tuesday.<P>I called MIL on Sat night. Everything is fine there. They are getting over the loss of their son.<P>FIL is practically disowning Donna. Cut her out of the will. Not like he’s rich or anything, but it’s the principle of it all. He has been calling her since we got home from the funeral. Seems I have gained a father & my Wife has lost one. He’s been saying some pretty bad stuff about her & wankboy. MIL said she received a package from her & it also said, “Love from Donna & wankboy.” She didn’t put them out or even tell FIL. He’d probably jump on a plane & go waste ‘em both he’s so pissed.<P>My oldest didn’t want anything from Mom. Some perfume & lotion, a purse, a sweater and about a dozen Beanie Babies. My youngest kept two Beanies & a journal. Everything is going to go to the childrens ward at the hospital. I made sure to tell them it was their decision and I didn’t want them to feel like I was making them get rid of them.<P>I also talked to a friend my Wife worked with before she left. I haven’t spoken to her since May. Seems Donna tried to file for unemployment after she left. Her boss told her to get bent & she was working within two weeks anyway.<P>Isn’t life grand?!? I’m doing okay. This exact time last year is when I found out about her current affair. Asked why she didn’t kill me or divorce me before she did it. <P>------------------<BR>Prayers & God Bless!<BR>Chris<BR>For relationship info check out <A HREF="http://www.pcisys.net/~chriscal1/resources.html" TARGET=_blank>Marriage & Relationship Resources</A>

My FIL feels pretty much the same about his D.<P>His exact words to me were F-her Bill, get on with your life.<P>Bill<P>------------------<BR>BB<BR>
