Thanks guys. As you may have read in the other thread, she won't be my mother in-law for much longer. In the limited conversation I've had with my soon to be ex, she apparently took a turn for the worse last night.
I had missed the news about your situation. I have recently gone through a divorce. I am sorry that you are going through this. If you need somebody to talk to, gimme a call.

People might think my friends and I may be odd, but I'm still hanging with the same guys that I've known for 20 years. When T Rex is considered a "newbie" because we've only known him for 7 years, you know that you have some lasting friendships. I can't come close to how many girls have gone through our revolving door, (I will say that we got tired of a certain group of women we deemed worthless recently, so we came up with the saying "Time for Gremlins 2: the new batch...) but ultimately, why do so many men feel they need a woman in their life to "complete" them? We learned it long ago. Now I'm not saying that it can't be done, or that women are necessarily a hindrance. If you find the right one at the right time, go for it. There are marriages out there that I whole-heartedly agree with. It's just not the norm. Point being: Don't "look" for a relationship, or a wife. When you find the right one, everyone will know. Hell, one of my best friends is dating a girl that I absolutely adore. They randomly met 6 months ago, roughly.
Sorry to hear that RM95 and best of luck. Also its really great of you that you're showing concern for your mother in law even while going through a divorce.
Well, bad news. I had only been texting with her to see how her mom is doing, but I wouldn't answer her calls. Well, one of our friends called me this morning telling me that I needed to answer when she calls since it looks like her mom won't make it. As unhappy I am about our situation, I still love her and her family. If she does pass, the world will be losing a great woman in Theresa Brinlee.
Theresa Brinlee fought on for 10 months after this thread was started. She passed away this afternoon...eight years after the doctors told her she had mere months to live. RIP, "mom", I can't wait to give you a side hug in Heaven.
