CatherineM Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 I don't have influence, and have never wanted it. I've never asked to be a moderator for example. Wouldn't do it if asked. I've never run for parish council. When I've served as an officer in the CWL, it's been because no one else would run. The last popularity contest I ran for was for president of my college's forestry club, and I lost. My mistake was in saying iou's. That was a poor choice of phrase. The people my husband called don't owe him anything except their friendship. They helped us because they like us, his parents needed the help, and it's their job. This has been a trying time for my husband. Anyone who's gone through stuff like this with their parents will know how hard and frustrating it can be. Phatmass has always been a safe place for me to vent. Helping my mother in law is difficult for me because she tried to have me deported. She got our wedding cancelled. She even used to call me it and say I used to be a man. I've tried to help them for my husband's sake, but it has been very stressful for me. If I've sounded pompous, you'll have to forgive me. You have rubbed my nose in it and popped me with the rolled up newspaper. I will close this so that I don't offend anyone else with my braggadocios.
