How is all that going with the girls and your ex wife? Have they gotten on the same page about what to do yet?

Sort of, but their relationship is really in a mess. They are still able to do things together, like one of my grandkids birthday this week end. But the big family get-togethers like Christmas and Easter were separate celebrations. Lately, the one that created the rift has taken many moves to patch things up. Everything short of an apology, but, hopefully the pride will give way to family, which can be much more satisfying then being right or wrong. They may be doing things just to keep me happy, but, I have resigned myself to the fact that even family doesn't get along all the time. As they say, this to shall pass. As far as my X is concerned, she is still in bad shape but lately seems to have at least stabilized and not gotten any worse. I don't think that she really has any desire to live anymore, but, is just lying there waiting to die.

I don't have the heart to 'like' that post. Ugh.

As you remember I totally related to your family delima back when my Dad was so ill. Your saga kinda mirrored Sis and Me along with my Mom the human ping pong ball. Mom had the ultimate decision to make but was so wishy washy and changed her mind depending on who she was talking to. I vested so much energy and time into my Dads final months and arrangements that I'm so done. Time is sometimes a blessing and we will move past this all. My Sis lives in Ohio so we only see each other a few hours every few months or so. My Mom has been in overdrive to toss everything that my Dad owned or treasured. After the garbage man came she then told me what of his, mine or my Sis' she threw out that week. When it is gone whatcha going to do? So I've taken a Giant Step backward and am just letting the dust settle. When she is done with this tissy I'll be able to get a better grasp of where her mental health is, if it is stress overload or something more, I in my gut think it is something more but too hard to put a finger on at the moment.

My family has a thing about just moving on in due time. So I'm thinking by year end calm will likely come. Sometimes distance just heals things, not everything has to have a final conclusion. I hope that is what happens for your daughters. Seems by what you are saying at least they are moving in that direction.

We did a road trip to California a few years ago and went to a few National Parks and they were so beautiful and different from each other. There are still many I'd like to see. Yellowstone was by far my favorite. National parks is one of the best things our government has ever done.

Be sure to also put the Grand Canyon on your bucket list. It's spectacular.

That seems odd to me...almost like blackmail. Yes, they should pay for the damages, but the money should go towards THAT, not a charity. Making him pay to a charity to get his passport back doesn't seem ethical. Charge him with a crime and make him pay for that and legal fees...the rest is extortion isn't it?

Different countries have different rules. All I know is that if one visits another country, it's best to be aware of their laws and judicial system, even if they seem unusual compared to ours here. To commit vandalism in a foreign country is beyond stupid, and I have no sympathy for any of them. And these weren't just young teens either--for example, Ryan Lochte is 32 years old! :jawdrop:
