Hang in there, TrueBrit!
I believe you have done the right thing for yourself, and possibly helped her see how serious a matter it is.
Be good to yourself! ((HUG)) You are stronger for this, it is clear to be seen, and I applaud you for your courage.
Hold fast, Son of the Storm...
peace to you,
AB
ps - every time I see you write something terribly self-depricating, I cringe!! are you a lesser soul?? hardly...
my bossiest most irrepressibly busy-body self (thank God she doesn't come out often) would like to tell you to Stop It...or...I dunno, some empty threat or other... but still...self-kindness on occasion won't turn you into an ego-maniac, TB... and I probably cringe because I do the same thing to myself... (yep, I'm a hypocrite *sigh*)

There is one thing that must be understood. I am of the opinion, that a person must always be able to look at ones self honestly, and have a laugh at ones own expense, otherwise ones head inflates to four times its original size, and detonates in an unpleasant shower of skull bone fragments, and high velocity grey matter. It may be close to the anniversary of JFK's assassination, but I would like to avoid such a fate
TrueBritFood didn't taste of anything much, and making me laugh, I am reliably informed, was like trying to pull the proverbial sword from the stone.
I was at work one day in summer, at our shop. The day was hot and bright, and there had been little by way of customers that morning, but just before twelve, this woman walks into my shop. Five foot seven inches tall, slim but not fragile, with the longest plaited ponytail I have ever laid eyes on, wearing a plaid skirt, workboots and a black vest top. She searched around the walls, looking for something, and like the professional I am, I saw this, and asked if I could help, and it was only then that she turned toward me, and the full force of her smile smacked me clean in the head.
Anyway guys, sorry to have bought such crappy tidings to the boards, but I really needed to just... Let it out. For one thing, you guys are like a second family to me, and I suppose it's only right that you ought to know what's going on with me. For another, I respect you all, and your opinions, and I need to know what you people think about what's happening, whether you maybe have any ideas that I haven't had, that might be better than my own with regard to navigating this absolute crapstorm. Thanks for reading.

I had something like that! I still keep it, for my future children. It's like the sword of the Silver Seed from the Ultima series. Mine has progressed though, the demon inside the crystal made a spell years ago for a portal, went dating, found a she-demon and they got kids, who also got married and went on to go to other planets.

You have been setup, mothers were involved, you might as well consider yourself married from birth, you should study arranged marriages, including how the Royal families handle it.

Glad somebody gave you permission to type this. Hopefully one of them will listen and direct a female to your post to clarify this for you. As for weather, # can't fly unless it was a pile of # placed for you while others pretended they could summon a storm because tornadoes can move #. Mentally speaking wind refers to "pneuma" or life's breath. The easy way out is to go to Church and confess you thought such things were possible.
