Hey, there! Yes, C/B and I met on my counseling Website:
www.MomResponds.com and became fast e-friends. She felt there was a great need for a place for MILs to have a voice and be honored. So, I bought it, designed it and named it...my son Kirk provided all of the technical work...and C/B posted the first entry! Since then, it has been a major focus in her life...bless her heart!
I saw it as a venue for those wishing to address and if possible, resolve issues between mothers and adult children, keeping in mind that some DILs might want to participate in a non-bashing, increased-understanding way, as well. What a concept!
However, naming it"
www.resolvingissusesbetweenmothersandadultchildren.com didn't seem to cut it. LOL!
We now have 155 members and have had only a very few sour apples in the barrel. When that happens, I point my magic want at them and Kirk makes them go *poof!* That way, we maintain our initial purpose while still addressing controversy at times. It's a delicate balance but well worth preserving.
Thanks to all of you for coming and thanks even more for staying!
And...for those concerned about my well- being, (thank you Invisible and many others,) I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel of being a full-time caregiver from a wheelchair. It's been quite an illuminating experience. I took it on because putting my husband into a nursing facility while I went though the process of mending (from having two three-inch screws put into he base of my tibia under general anesthetic)...would have been too much for him and he would never have been able to come home. He is 98. So, in getting my priorities straight...I chose to temporarily leave my beloved MILU.
I shall return!! I promise!
Sending love...
