Family

Growing up all I heard about was how people hated their in laws. They were always in their business and could not do anything without them sticking their nose into it. Well I can say I have been truly blessed by the hand of god.

My mother and father in laws are truly one of a kind. I feel good about calling them mom and dad. I love spending time with them. I try to help where ever I can and when ever I can. I am part of his "Inner Circle". She does all of my clothes shopping and when I say all I'm mean all. Right down to my bras and underwear, she is truly awesome. They do so much for me that I don't care what pain I do to my self by doing what ever they ask.

Mom died in 2000 and my brother feels that I am his only connection to what was. Over the years he has moved in and helped out with paying the bills. Some of the time I have asked and some times he really needed a place to stay. Now we have many uncles, aunts, cousins and other relatives. But he feels that they are not HIS family, which is his choice.

He has problems, we all do. About three months ago he asked if he could stay about 3 days. Now my husband and I agreed it would be ok. But now its three months and I can't take him griping all the time. If it is not one thing its another. He moved in with us, a TWO BEDROOM apartment. Now he complains that he has no place to be by him self. Well that is what you get when you move in to an apartment that is a two bedroom. The only time I am by my self is when the bathroom door is locked. Even then I still have to hear my youngest banging on the door to join me in the shower.

I will miss him but I just CAN'T live with him.

God watch over my brother and my family. When you close a door you always open a window. I need your help to make me be strong in this trying time. Thank you for all that you have done for me. Please wrap a crown of thorns around my family and keep us safe.
