Very well said Cheryl.

Cyn, it probably would not have made a difference if they had told him. People like her are very convincing liars.

Yes, they are. And you're most likely right that she would have been able to laugh it off somehow. That's what she does when confronted with a truth to her lies, she just says "LMBO".

My son called. Apparently, he found that she has only about $1400 left of the 10K she started with and he saw a lot of $300/night charges at the Marriott so I'm not sure what is going on, maybe his mother doesn't even know about her or maybe he and she are living at the Marriott on her dime. In any case, soon, unless she starts a job, she'll be in a foreign country with no money, no family, no friends and no one who wants her back here, either. Not my problem and hopefully, she'll never again be my son's problem, either. He's happy that his debt is paid and his credit is way up and I think he's finally seeing the benefit of her being out of his life. He has to have more disposable cash, even without her meager income, because she's not there spending hers plus a chunk of his as well. And she's running out of money so fast because when none is coming in, it goes out like water over a waterfall. Plus, the settlement says she is responsible for all of her own debts and I know she just had to pay a big credit card bill. Oh, well, it won't be long before she's crying to her daddy to get her back home, unless she latches on to some other unsuspecting guy over there.

I still have several naked chickens in the barn, but most are fast re-feathering. MaryJo still is off her feed and a bag of bones and she's the one I'm most concerned about, however, at this point, I feel that if they won't do the minimum to survive, I am not going to take too many measures to keep them going. I've tried and tried to give her special food, but she barely touches anything I bring for her.

Just be careful, because the divorce isn't final yet.

I'm not doing a thing. He is just trying to hold the fort until the final papers come through, checking secretly on stuff to see if there are signs she's coming back. He is hoping to catch any signs that she will send someone to get the dog to put him on a plane. Not likely since the former keys don't work anyway.

I have a few that are having a rough molt. I haven't gotten too good a look at any of them in the last couple of weeks since I'm recovering from my knee replacement. I miss going out to take care of everyone. I'm slowly getting better, but am still tired, and can't stay on my feet too long. I'm not good at sitting around. Thankfully I'm improving quicker than I did with my other knee.

I did use my wonderful gifted knitted bag to take a few items with me to the hospital. It was just right size for it. Thank you again Cynthia.

My head is spinning from all the drama in your sons life. It's all too much for me.

1.That's great, glad you're on the mend.

2. You're very welcome!

3. Me, too! Too much drama!

Half of my hens are molting right now too, at least 5-6. Of my 10 layers I’m only getting 1-2 eggs a day. My son said it looked like a chicken exploded in the coop because of all the feathers lol.

The behavior you describe of your daughter, @getaclue , sounds EXACTLY like my x-husband's behavior.

He did meet the criteria to be formally diagnosed as "anti-social behavior disorder" (formerly sociopathic). (Though he would never submit to any such diagnosis process.)

Living with someone like that is "crazy-making".

Believe me, she put me through my paces.
