Mixed Blessing...
A very unfortunate blowup happened Friday night, the day before Smurfling's b-day party, has caused a lot of misery. However, it brought peace to Smurf and me. His father and I got into it again...and he verbally attacked both of us. The party went on as planned, however, changes for the better are headed my family's way. We are taking control back and calling the shots, unified and determined. We've had some problems with this before due to Smurf's schedule...not being around much...but we are set now.
Unfortunately, it's not over yet. The outlaws are very angry, as though a simple apology would put them in control and return things to their fucked up sense of normalcy. We have to set it all straight still and we are sure of future blow ups. We are ready for them. God works in mysterious ways, and I believe it was Him guiding the father-in-law into the argument that helped us make quick changes, instead of the gradual that we were planning. Things are looking good and I feel empowered in a way that I haven't in a long time.
