I'm back!! I survived the ex-in-law song and dance. I endured a week in the woods with my psycho ex-mother-in-law (and the rest of her family), and even had a chance to speak a little bit of honesty to her. I opened to door to honesty, and the shit came flying through it. I had no idea what a bitch this woman could be! I had never experienced it full-throttle before, though I had always suspected she was capable of it. The only reason I endured the torture was because the ex's parents had paid good money to bring us there. I did it solely for the boys. I don't give a rats ass if I am ever invited there again, and frankly, I don't think I could do it again. Certainly not for a week. That was about 6 days too long.... seriously. By the 3rd day I was really ready to pop a gasket, and I'd be nuts to put myself through that ever again.
The good news is that a family of goats appeared outside the kitchen window on the last day we were there, and that was, in a word, magical. There have never been wild goats on this mountain before. Why were they there? Simply to brighten my mood, I'm sure of it. I felt as though I had been touched by the hand of God. Seeing those goats brought me back to my joy again. I can't explain it! It was simply a gift.
