some things...

If your relationship with your daughter is so good, then why are you considering letting the machine take all the calls? Why not just call her back, even if SHE sounded irritated, and say, "Honey I'm sorry if I sounded irritated, I was talking to ..... and I didn't have on my glasses. I was a little out of sorts." That should patch up everything, unless one of you or both of you are extremely unreasonable. This is small stuff. Why all the drama? You should be able to fix this kind of stuff without coming here to vent. No one is perfect. Cut your daughter some slack. And you really should try to mend things with your son. What if he died in an accident? Could you live with not having mended things? They way you told the story, you were "done with him" when he talked really ugly to you. Maybe you should forgive him and have your family whole, then your life will be even happier!

I clarified it in a post below in the one- sm
about sorry for the typos, and said it was one of the factors. As I said I don't care why she divorced him. Her loss. He is not ignorant, but this lady's husband might be ever think of that??? Not all men know about the clitoris or how it works, etc. They just think, oh have intercourse and the woman will orgasm....now some can of course, but I really do not think that is the norm. His ex-wife is one of those unfortunate woman who cannot orgasm no matter what, some can't you know. I know he tried as I know how attentive he is to me and my wants, needs, etc. Just like not all women can breastfeed (I can't), and don't make any milk after a child is born. It is just a quirk that happens.

Sincerely glad that you clarified that. sm
Like I said, I have a dog that I am not crazy about but she is part of our family and will always stay with us. There was a time when I wanted to give my 2 1/2yr old son away LOL!
