I applaude you for having a strong backbone especially at such a young age when the pressure is tough. I also applaude Nurse Meme and Trooper Bob!Katherine Roberts Aucoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454975337867383578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575611281212353750.post-37651736098580272552009-04-19T16:52:00.000-07:002009-04-19T16:52:00.000-07:00Wow, Gladys. That was some story. It's hard to be ...Wow, Gladys. That was some story. It's hard to be the one who wants to do the right things and wants to be friends with someone who doesn't. I've had relationships like that with friends and they always tried to make me out to be the bad guy or called me "chicken".<br /><br />My mom always told me to blame her. She said that if someone wanted me to do something I didn't want to do, I should say that my parents won't let me, or how lame my parents were.<br /><br />I have given that same advice to my kids because it was probably the best advice I ever got. And they appreciate being able to make me the bad guy when they get into situations that make them uncomfortable. But it has also helped them stand up for themselves without being afraid of losing friends, something I was never able to do, and still can't.<br /><br />I hope Karen gets help for herself and her kids. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing this story with us.<br />LeslieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575611281212353750.post-49423603376272004682009-04-19T14:15:00.000-07:002009-04-19T14:15:00.000-07:00Gosh, I feel for her and her babies...and, of cour...Gosh, I feel for her and her babies...and, of course, Little Gladys.

I believe there's still hope for her since she realizes the mistakes she's made.
