stew_usmc: is she there or something?

stewartchic: no im at home tonight and shes at the hotel

stewartchic: plus this is between u and me... not her

stew_usmc: ok

stewartchic: i wouldnt play games with u like that

stew_usmc: i dont resent her i just dont feel comfortable with her

stewartchic: ur my bro... shes an egg... oh ok

stew_usmc: i remember all that she used to do to us and our father

stewartchic: what she used to do?

stewartchic: cuz she tells me he hit her and told her we werent his kids...

stew_usmc: i dont want to go into it

stew_usmc: yeah she told him that a lot

stewartchic: well tell me cuz im only getting one side and its hers...

stew_usmc: they both were at fault but it was a lot to do with her illness and her refusal to take medication

stewartchic: oh

stewartchic: im so confused

stewartchic: i wanna get to know her, but it hurts me when she tells me that daddy beat her...

stew_usmc: she stopped taking meds and that caused her to go loony

stew_usmc: yeah daddy hit her not really beat but then again she would take weapons at our dad when he wasnt looking

stew_usmc: luike chairs and such

stewartchic: o

stew_usmc: he might have hit her in excess once or twice but then again she hit him with things in the back

stewartchic: yea

stew_usmc: so both were out of control

stewartchic: so it was an "un-healthy" relationship to say the least...

stew_usmc: yes

stew_usmc: and she could have stayed on meds to balance herself out but she would stop and trip out again

stew_usmc: u need to study a lil psychology to understand her mindset

stewartchic: ive looked up her illness, but only to see how it would effect us and our children if we had any

stew_usmc: lol well look up what it does too

stewartchic: k

stewartchic: so do u think u'll ever be comfortable with her

stew_usmc: i dont know bc every time we talk she tries to lay on guilt trips and i havent done anything to deserve that and plus she bad mouths our father and grandma at times

stew_usmc: and they might have been wrong in somethings but they raised us right

stewartchic: yea

stewartchic: she and i had that kind of talk... i told her whats in the past is int he past, and that we can have a relationship now... now i understand where ur coming from... i never realized u remembered that kind of stuff

stew_usmc: i remember somethings that make me ill willed towards her and daddy

stew_usmc: and when she wants to try and be civilised in convos ill talk

stew_usmc: but i have my own life and i am working through that

stew_usmc: i dont need to have her try and guilt me into coming to orgen

stewartchic: yea

stewartchic: she tried to get me to go to this tech school in OR, but i was having none of it

stew_usmc: lol

stew_usmc: see that is bull shit

stew_usmc: she wants u to change ur whole life for her to see you more often

stew_usmc: she ran out on us

stew_usmc: she could have stayed in texas

stewartchic: she says that daddy wouldnt let her see us and that grandma would let her "sneak" phone calls to us...

stew_usmc: no she would

stew_usmc: not

stew_usmc: grand ma hid all of her letters from us

stew_usmc: she is using grandmas memory to try and get to you

stew_usmc: grandma wantersd nothing to do with her

stew_usmc: and daddy did not want to keep us from her

stew_usmc: he couldnt

stew_usmc: lol

stew_usmc: there was a court order

stew_usmc: i remember the last day she visited

stewartchic: was he with berry then?

stew_usmc: yes and uncle mark was over

stewartchic: and we were around that little playschool table?

stew_usmc: she came over with some guy i think it was one of our uncles

stew_usmc: anyways

stew_usmc: all her bags were packed and they were in the car

stew_usmc: she was only allowed to be with us in the presence of a supervisor bc she had kidnapped me when i was a baby

stewartchic: oh

stew_usmc: so she wanted to take us all to 7 eleven for ice cream and daddy said no bc she wanted to do it alone

stew_usmc: and she got all kinds of pissed

stew_usmc: bc daddy knew if he let her she was gonna fly with us

stewartchic: eek

stewartchic: wel im glad he didnt

stew_usmc: why else would she come over like that

stewartchic: exactly

stew_usmc: and she stormed out of the house and said i hope ur happy bc now i am never gonna see my kids again and she told mark he never has to go through that kind of thing

stew_usmc: so basically she left

stew_usmc: daddy didnt stop anything

stewartchic: yea

stewartchic: im sure he was kinda relieved

stew_usmc: well

stew_usmc: he never wanted that

stew_usmc: and do you remember who researched her and found her again

stewartchic: yea

stewartchic: of course i do

stewartchic: do ui think he loved her?

stewartchic: u*

stewartchic: ive always wondered that... if he married he b/c she was pregnant with you or if he did kinda love her...

stew_usmc: yes michelle he lovesd her a lot

stew_usmc: and he did marry her bc of me

stew_usmc: but he loved her bc of us

stewartchic: what do u mean?

stew_usmc: if he didnt do u think he would have tried to work it out so long?

stewartchic: yea

stew_usmc: and not break her off after me or lauretta

stew_usmc: he loved her or grew to that bc she gave us to him

stewartchic: yea

stewartchic: i see

stewartchic: what ur saying

stewartchic: thank u for telling me this... i needed to know...

stew_usmc: well i am glad to help

stew_usmc: both are equally at fault mishy

stew_usmc: misha

stew_usmc: not just daddy or her

stewartchic: i figured it was something along those lines... but it was biased, and i didnt want to ask daddy b/c... i dont know why, but just b/c

stew_usmc: yeah i know

stewartchic: id figure u'd understand

stew_usmc: i do

stew_usmc: lol

stewartchic: i wish we could've at least had her around so we would at least know "of" her. or something like that

stew_usmc: no it would have been not wworth it

stewartchic: why do u say that?

stew_usmc: she is not normal and doesnt want to try to get help thats why

stewartchic: yea

stewartchic: she scared me the other night when she said something of that nature. about not taking them here

stewartchic: that first night i stayed with her i was afraid to sleep

stew_usmc: yeah i dont feel comfortable around her

stewartchic: to a certain extent i feel the same way, but then i figure shes my mom and i shouldnt feel that way... but the i member that time when u and retta had to hide us 3 from her... is that true, by the way...

stew_usmc: i really cant remember

stew_usmc: i hear that story all the time but i cant recall

stewartchic: yea

stewartchic: u musta been like 4
