Update as of March 17th

I lost 6 pounds a month starting in January and now am at 19 pounds down.

My goal is to lose 4 or 5 more pounds.

Sending good health wishes to everyone!

He received a phone call that was intended to cause him to feel guilty for leaving to move many beautiful hours away! His mom is "sad about it." He stayed in this location for ten horrible years and it is time to move away! I pointed out why is it okay with his relatives that his brother lives in an...

Thank you Phred. Thank you for reminding me to stay calm, believe in people after living near the in-laws, and scale back on the perfectionism. The breathing part is very important to remember as well to be productive in packing versus emotional and over whelmed. We are renting for possibly a year t...

My hopes for the big move hours from here in a little over a week are not all realistic. Here they are... 1. My husband and I will pack everything that we need and not forget anything. (It would be lovely to arrive, unpack and feel instantly at home with everything that we need with us.) 2. We will ...

Thank you Phred!

I hope that you and your loved ones are well!

WhyOhWhy, Thank you for your message, your time, consideration and supportive words. I really appreciate you helping me make it through the journey to get to this place. Dh is giving up on all of his relatives, even his twin brother, and I know what that feels like. It is freeing yet it is a loss of...

I gained weight while living near my husband's relatives slowly enough that I didn't notice it for 5 years. Then, I noticed and lost the weight. However, five more years passed and the weight crept back on. My husband pointed it out to me and I took care of it again! Now, I am down 20 pounds and hav...

Melody, The funny image of his sister's honey do list as possible bathroom paper is priceless! Thank you for the smile and laughter that resulted from that image! I just told Dh and he laughed and said thank you as well! He said we would have enough to share with the neighbors as well if they were l...

Update: The nurse sister in law keeps reaching out to my husband asking for him to do things for her! I keep on deleting her text messages from his phone that are demands on his time. He doesn't have time to help her! We are leaving in a certain number of days and he is working up until the last day...

He gave his notice at work today. Then, he called his nurse sister who kept sending him texts demanding when he was coming over to work on the list of things she wants done in her home by him. He said that he would not be able to help her with her home to do list because we are moving away. She said...

The nurse sister has text him now twice DEMANDING to know what date he is promising to complete her "husband" like honey do list that she wrote out for him. He didn't respond to her. He can't be her hero/ servant, etc. She wants him to rearrange ALL the furniture in her house. She wants all the upst...

The only thing that we are needing to buy for the apartment is a water filter pitcher, and a washing machine (we already have an extra dryer here to take with us.) We can gift the extra washer and dryer to one of the adult children who move out of the house and when we buy another house. Then, we ca...

One is on dh's mom. She gave her credit card to not nurse sister of dh to buy some groceries that she likes and her daughter came back with two items that weren't on her list. The items cost 6 dollars in total. Well, dh's mom freaked out and was angry. Yet, her daughter buys all the food and shares ...

"sell" the house

Thank you both! We are moving! We will be 3 hours away from them! We will rent for 2 years and then we will be able to the house here. Maybe the son who is getting married around then will buy the house after he graduates from college. Then, youngest adult son will move out on his own or live with u...
