Hi everyone. I am back and now online again. I have missed you! Here is an update to fill in the gaps while I was gone:
About a day after I moved down to Baton Rouge to stay in my daughter's mobile home, my hubby decided to call me so that we could work things out so that I could return as soon as possible. His family turned against me, but he took me at my word and chose to believe my reasons for leaving.
My daughter didn't give me much time to spend on her computer, so I couldn't keep in touch as often as I wanted to with everyone online. I wound up spending my entire time there babysitting my 3 grandkids from the time they woke up until their bedtime, while my daughter either sat at her computer or went out with her hubby, or while both of them were hanging out with their drug dealing neighbors. Needless to say, I didn't get the rest or relaxation I was hoping for. My daughter and her hubby fought almost everyday...mostly about his obsessive friendship with their neighbors.
When I did have time for myself, I spent it pampering myself with bubble baths and by reading my Bible and chatting with my hubby on the phone.
Donny, my hubby, decided he wanted me back sooner than I could have had the funds to be able to afford to come on my own, so he took out a small loan and bought me a train ticket. I had, by that time, spent almost an entire month down with my daughter and was so eager to be back with Donny!!! He had found and paid for a new apartment for us to move to, and moved all our belongings to the new apartment before I arrived back home. When I got off the train, he greeted me with a big hug and kiss, and then we went out to celebrate with a nice breakfast before taking me to our new apartment.
The apartment is perfect for our needs. It's not fancy, but it's clean, safe, and the rooms are big enough for what we need...and within our budget. I worked out a budget for us to live by, and I showed him that by following that budget, we could easily live within our means using his paychecks and my monthly disability check...and have plenty left over each pay period...but that it would take a couple of months to get to the point where we could see any extra money because of his overdrafts at the bank that had to be taken care of first.
So far, we have been getting along very well. We are both very happy that we are back together, and in a healthy environment...and our marriage is going better than I hoped. I am so thankful we don't fight like cats and dogs, like my daughter and her hubby. They were so miserable, and have just moved back up to this area themselves last week, because of lack of funds and because their kids didn't need to be near drug dealing neighbors.
Right now, my son is very angry with me for moving back up here to be with Donny. He was hoping against hope that I was leaving Donny and my marriage...even though I explained to him that I had left for health reasons...not because I was leaving Donny. So he hasn't contacted me since my birthday last month. My daughter talked to him about it, telling him that I am entitled to enjoy my life with my spouse just as he is with his wife....and that during the entire time I was down there in the same town where he lives, he had hardly come to visit or even call to check up on me. He needs to get over it, and realize I have a life too, and that it shouldn't have to revolve around him.
