Maureen Maureen Maureen. You have no idea how true. They say we can't pick our relatives and how true again. I've had much stress in my life due to relatives and immediate relatives at that. Your entry is a gem. Well done and expressed.

Thank you so kindly Lisa, for the praise and for understanding between the lines. I do have some idea, not exact but I have my own; and am able to see the damage that flows downstream. Thank you again Lisa xomo

This reminds me of a phrase I have heard in many a country funeral I have attended. "The Good Die Young That They May Not Be Corrupted. The Bad Live On That They May Have A Chance To Redeem Themselves." I used to think: "Uh Oh! What Did I Do?" A fine write Maureen. God Bless and a 7 from me./ JB
