My daughter is in her 30's. She has not had the best of luck with relationships.
Her first husband was a good kid, highschool sweetheart, but at some point got involved with drugs and it changed him too much.

Her second while not a really bad guy, as a matter of fact at first was great for her, but he is hispanic and she was never able to really get settled into the cultural difference. He was very controling.

Anyway she has met someone online. From clear across the U.S. not a choice I would have made but I don't live her life. It turns out though he is more than willing to make the trip out to Oregon to see her until they know just where this thing is heading.

Before he made the first trip they started a photo album, they introduced their kids via web cam. He came out the first time and they absolutely enjoyed each others company. They took lots of pictures and added to thier scrapbook.

Now they are getting ready for the second visit. But all of a sudden inbetween visits, his ex, belonging to the same web site (game site) sees the scrapbook and goes freaky on my daughter. Leaves nasty messages on her guestbook, rude comments, writes blogs about what a jerk he is. etc, etc, etc.

They had a bit of a spat over it and he admitted there was truth in the things that she had said about him. But like break ups tend to happen it was not the whole truth. Yes he owed her some money but after changing his locks and phone number he thought it came out pretty square, and even if he thought he still owed it he would not go anywhere near trying to pay her, so the hysteria didn't start up all over again. She had called him, she text him, she IMed, she ingraciated herself to his family to try to stay close to him. It was not a good break up and he just wanted it all to stop.

So here my daughter is with this guy coming out, he has treated her like she is a crown jewel. She has never been treated so affectionately or like she was so special before, and then there is this little dark cloud hanging over her head.

Her profile page on their site was featured for her holloween decorations and she was so proud of it but at the same time is afraid that the attention will start another round of conflict. Afraid to add pics to her scrapbook, I just feel bad for her, she is a good kid and my grandkids are great, she is so happy. I just want to see her stay that way.

He is coming out this week for a whole week, and they are going to Reno for two nights. I hope they have a blast and win some money. :)

Ok that is my random thoughts for the day.......

Heck..hard enough our own relational life is not idyllic...then there is the kids with their lands of chaos, then the extended family...the neighbors...

WHERE DOES IT ALL STOP???!!!!

Thanks...had to get that off my chest.

Seriously though...encourage your daughter to keep her eyes wide open. One of the things I've always felt was problematic with our histories with the burning debris of past relationships is whether or not there are still coals in the smoldering that could catch my own world on fire as well. So far...it's only been the smoking debris in the head of the women I've invited into my world, and as long as I held their head under water, the smoke didn't seem to smell up my house too much...

peas to you, oh random poster!

You know what stuck out to me in this blog?

He admitted some of the things were true...that impressed me...he could have said it was ALL BS.

Its a little thing...but I liked that...

I wish them both peace and happiness...
