Tonks, I don’t know the person you reffered to but we’ve got several of our own that would fill the bill. But hey, we all got through it. The family of birth (or short option) doesn’t define who and how we love.

Somehow, I think (hope) we all found some new clarity about who and how “I am”, how we are in the family and family of choice, and how the definitions and expectations have changed.

I am so proud of my brother in law. He has four kids and he stood up to his Mom. He protected his kids and changed the dynamics and offered another way that the kids and Grands could spend time. I owe him some good props and maybe some V1 Vodka. Above all of that, he adores and spoils my sister and her kids too.

I do hope that you all found a new way to adore the things we have, to grasp the things that can change and the wisdom to know that we can change everything. They all will cope. They know that you are honest and kind and trying to do the right thing.

Blessings, thanks for blogging.
