OK, that went much better than I thought it would be. As Hubby just pointed out, this was his daughter going through her own stages of grief and upset. But if she wants to vent the years of her frustration, she's going to have to do it out of my earshot, because I cannot stand by and let anyone yell at Hubby. I cannot.

I admit I have not done well by her. I am not mother material. But I can do better.

I'm so sorry, Connie.

Oh, Connie, this is all just so hard. But you don't have to feel you have to heal all the past's ills. Just do what you can now, but don't be too hard on yourself.

What the what?!?! Tragedly and sickness need to take a vacation. Sorry :(

So sorry the answer's not more encouraging, Connie. Healing~ and treatment~ma for DH.

Connie, I'm so deeply sorry the answer sucks. Much ~ma, strength, and brackets to you and Hubby.

And fuck motherfucking cancer.

Connie, I'm very sorry, both for the diagnosis and for the unneeded drama.

But if she wants to vent the years of her frustration, she's going to have to do it out of my earshot, because I cannot stand by and let anyone yell at Hubby. I cannot.

Of course you cannot! It is completely understandable that you would be in protective mode. Ugh. So sorry that you are going through this.

Daniel and Connie, I am so sorry. Much peace and strength to you and your families.
