Family Update

Well, I thought I would leave behind the political agenda today and update everyone on what is happening in our family.

First, Mary-Beth is doing better, but still goes through very deep and serious bouts of depression. She can be happy one moment, then instantly go very sullen. We have her over here often to give her a break from her abusive husband. Lorne has seemed to come to terms with our 'talk' and he is healing well. Mary-Beth tells me that Lorne has relaxed a lot of his abuse, and that she is able to tolerate the rest for the time being. My little niece is doing okay, and loves to play with her cousins.

Our children are doing well and growing fast. They are enjoying the winter snow. They love to make snowmen, go skiing and snowshoeing, and especially make snow cones. We just have to make certain that they have the snow cones early enough in the day, because that much sugar really gets them going.

Toni loves her job at the vet clinic, but is sad that she misses out on a lot of the winter fun with the children.

Our extended families have been leaving us alone for the most part lately. It is nice not to have to live with the constant threats they make against the children. There is so much peace in our lives, now that we have escaped from our "monogamist" past. The children no longer have to live with abuse and they are doing well in their studies. It is so amazing, they are happy and healthy now that they are far away from the brainwashing and abuse.
