so updates: even with a last minute betrayal by the former mother in law (told me to use wife's smartphone for everything , including SS survivor benefits phone interview), she cut my phone service @ 14 hours before my interview. thankfully being paranoid, i was on it, called SSA @ 7 am adjusted my info, made phone interview. needed 3 pieces of paperwork, got them into SSA before noon. went and had an EKG, for my hernia surgery on tuesday. getting fixed after memorial day. its actually way better for me stress wise, rather than having the impending betrayal hanging over my head. im much more relaxed and mellow kids are doing great 11 year old got academic student of the week, 7 year olds doing pretty good too, no problems. so onward to 6 weeks of recovery, them moving back up to seattle area where all my chosen family lives Thanks for the update as I was thinking about you the other day. Good luck on the surgery and the cross country move back to Seattle. It's going to be a tough road but I'm happy things are starting to settle down. My hats to everyone who's working to make it work including the kids. ♥

If it provides any comfort .. I've had 2 hernia repairs. They suck but they're fixable and the storm does pass!

Some people as they get older can get reaaaaaaally addicted to it.

oof i knew this would get worse before it got better but damn
mother-in law, who has been paying the rent, and promised to pay through the end of school year, has now decided to not do so, leaving me with a pending eviction.also didn't tell me, instead took the kids and my mom out to lunch and the park, then when the kids were playing told my mom. this woman is making passive agressive an art form, i swear. so new moving dat is mid july, literally as soon as I am cleared for physical activity, and hope utilities don't get turned off beforehand

It's bad enough you are grieving and recovering from your own medical issues.. I swear... The worst part in this as always is that the kids deal with the fall out of someone else's pettiness. Hang in there.

i'm trying to turn this into a positive. i've got temp housing lined up immediately upon physical activity clearance. the kids are going to spend a happy rest of summer out at my moms farm. i'll be staying with a long term friend , who as a bonus has Gigs of anime soundtracks i haven't heard. going back to the 80s. maybe i'll find digest or fail/replay tracks.and make the community happy
i have to stay positive,otherwise, she wins.

Agreed. Definitely keep me posted on what you have on the Anime osts.. Bought a crapton in the 80's and 90's.. I love anime soundtracks and scores. ♥ I'm really glad you found a way to move on for not just your benefit but for the kids. Thank your Mom for helping out when you needed it the most. I'm happy she's keeping her head on straight in this horrible situation. I know the kids will remember that.

still 2 weeks from clearance for activity, but also 1 day from 3/4 of my stuff and the kids moving. house is essentially packed, and a couple that are friends of mine are helping drive the uhaul. they also decided i'm not paying for said uhaul. they'll be here in the morning, along with their 20 year old son, to pack the house. i've got a day amd a half after that to do clean up, then me and my stuff are going in a pickup and trailer on saturday morning.
i'll check back in after moving is done, losing internet later tonight or tomorrow

I'm happy you have loved ones who are watching out for you. I would have duct-taped you somewhere to keep from moving.
