Someone is always "the Successful one."
I just don't see anything but more aggro and emotional abuse for you, to be honest. Why not move out, and let your family start to value what you provided?

To be hones it isn't always this bleak. But when a court date or a date when the judge rules or decides on something comes closer tensions rise. Add to that that there was a meeting last week with the lawyer, which also doesn't help.
It's always easier said than done to just up and leave. Part of it's guilt and part of it's perceived responsibility. Since the fire my life's been on hold.
Anyway. The next couple of days I only have to work mornings. The weather will be great. So I have some fun things planned; tomorrow I'm going to get my hair cut (not necessarily fun, but needed), on Thursday I'm treating myself to short cycle trip to my favourite restaurant in the woods for lunch and on Friday a long planned visit to the scrapbook store. If the weather hold I might go on a long(er) bike trip on Sunday.
For tonight I have some ice cream and plan to finish off the documentary series The Staircase (Micheal Peterson creeps me out!) and maybe one or two episodes of Godless.
