My daughter emailed me to tell me she and her husband are separating for awhile to try and decide if the marriage is something to salvage or not. Apparently they have been having trouble and haven't told anyone. That's steam blower # 1 then I call her and she tells me that Her husband tried to slit his wrists while she was at work with the kids in the house. He is manaic depressed and decided that this would be better. He is staying at his Fathers house. Heidi did the right thing and made him go to his fathers. That was steam coming out of my ears # 2.
She is getting her own apt. Than goodness she has a good Job in supervision that pays good. Her biological father is helping her financially where he can. If I were in the same state that she is in, that husband of hers would not be safe for putting my granson and grandaughter in that position. Sorry all, I am Just venting here. Man !!!!!!! does that make me mad!!!!! Venting sorry!

May I be more compassionate and loving than yeterday*and be able to spot the idiots in advance

It doesn't matter how old our children get, we never seem to beable to get out of that "Mother Mode". I personally feel that it's our job to hurt when our children hurt but I don't really think our Dr's would say that. LOL I know that things are really tough right now and it's better that you vent here than possibly say something to them that may put a wedge in your relationship with them in the future. Believe me, I've had my mouth over-ride but butt before and TSHTF
So "my friend" let yourself vent here I sure it will be safer.
Love and God Bless:

Oma----truer words were never spoken as Jodi said it----
I think we all know that---being parents and such---yet I like U--would luve to VENT outside the BOX--
Louie---always puts his fingers to his lips when he sees me start to *fume*
Know what---I always say---*when the time is right to spew* --I will do it---
First step will be DIL------but for Doug I *zipper* mouth
luve--

Not only that, but I believe it was very fortunate that he didn't decide to take the kids with him, when he decided to try to end his own life. One never knows what might happen in such a desperate situation, when someone has such a troubled mind, but considering all the possible outcomes, that incident could have ended a heck of a lot worse than it did.
Please don't take this the wrong way, because I understand how you feel, and I'm very sympathetic, but if I were in your shoes, I would be very grateful that it wasn't any worse than it was. He needs help, he doesn't need someone to tell him that he's "all screwed up". He already knows that, and it's the reason why he decided to attempt such a desperate thing.
Love,
Tex
It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
I agree with Tex...
oma i can understand how you portrayed this incident as dangerous and irresponsible. I dont know the ages of the children but im sure it would have been a hell of a fright for them. Thay would have been so confused and have no idea as to what was happening.
This man needs to see a gp as soon as possible and be referred to a psychiatrist to treat his mental health condition. Clearly this is a cry for help and he is not coping with ongoing life issues. It is very important that family and loved ones give as much support as possible to enable him to deal with his mental state of mind. This man needs to be treated with kid gloves..Also manic depression is an awful illness...highs and very bad lows..
Tex said that the situation could have been much worse and yes it could have. Be thankful the children are safe and if they are traumatised by the situation again talk this through with them on their level.
Oh I agree with ya, I didn't say anything bad to My Daughter. It just makes me so mad that the kids could have walked in on that. And I am Thankful he didn't Include them in his attempt. I just needed to vent. He will be seeing a Doctor about all this. Apparently he had a real bad childhood and his mother was not exactly a good Mom. I have always liked Him but this just upset me because of the kids.
Daughter told me today that they are discussing whether they are staying together or not, It's not exactly cut and dried yet, And I hope it can all be worked out. However, I fear for the kids. I have always taught Heidi to be independant and to weather almost anything, so her strength is not an issue here. She said she does have to take in to account her very first priority>>the Kids.
Anyway Thanks for lettin g me vent, I didn't mean to sound as if I was gping to do him in myself. Love ya'll Oma
