So as you ladies know H and I were under some stress because of my mom and stepdad splitting up and us living in my stepdad's mom's house ( mygrandmother.) anyways my family has been crazy as most of you will remember ever since H and I moved into the house about a year ago. I have not seen or talked to my SIL since April 2011 and I have not yet met my neice who turns 1 this week. While my brother and stepdad have all wanted to "fix" the family no one knew how and things had been said that shouldn't have and people had a hard time moving past it.
Anyways so fast forward to today and my mom, brother, stepdad, and I sat down and were discussing other things and them splitting up and us stayi g in the house and different things came up and eventually it got to the point where I who never says anything during things like this spoke up and practically fixed everything or at least started the process of it. Afterwards we all felt so much better and agreed to work on things as a whole family. My stepdad was holding my hand for an hour he was so happy that I was saying all this. And it looks like things are going to work out at least for now. And if nothing else I bought H and I more time to figure out where to go if things don't work out.
I am super excited and I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders I can't even begin to describe it. I just had to share with you ladies because only you ladies will understand how big of a deal this actually is!

Glad to hear things are a little better. When I was young, I witnessed the progressive split between my father and his family. Kind of a long story, but in order to inherit more, my dad's siblings manipulated my grandmother into changing the executor of the will (which was originally my father) and eventually cutting my dad out of the will entirely by telling her lies about our family as her mental state declined...by the time my grandmother actually died we weren't even informed, and found out only because my other grandmother had read about it in the newspaper. And at one point in my life we used to live half a block away from her, and my mom and I spent time over there every day.
Anyways, my point is I've seen what my dad went through with the "family split". He tried to patch things up, and it ultimately didn't work out in the end, but at least he can live knowing that he did everything he could to try and work things out. Hopefully things turn out better for you than they did for him, but at least you can live without the regret that you never even tried!
