I'm so sorry - that is very scary for you and your siblings! Even though it's the right thing for your mother to do and they do both sound amazingly incompatible, it's not easy for anybody and I'm thinking of you!!

Amazingly incompatible, that's the point.
I sometimes wonder what was my mother thinking when she married my father. She always says he changed... old story... de couldn't have changed that much, it was her who saw only what she wanted to see.

Thanks for the thoughs!

I suppose it's the same old story - she loved him and thought she could change him, but people don't change that much! I've liked some difficult buggers in my time, but luckily for me I've never got to the stage of marrying 'em!!!

No problem - I really hope it all works out without too much trauma!

"in my time..." You put it like my grandma would put it! LOL It is still your time!

I know what you mean... I'm glad you left those relationships while you could! It's always better alone than like my mother!

Hahaha - I know! In my time, when you had to dodge dinosaurs on your way home, I had horrible taste in men!! :P

Yes I prefer solitude to disturbed emotions and equilibrium I must say - though as time goes on I do find it harder to even countenance dipping my toe in the relationship waters again!

Go ahead, send me to the dictionary... as if I don't have nothing else to do!!! ;)

I understand it now, but I don't agree... maybe it's a just a passing fase.
And now, let's add "countenance" to "moors"!
