RYC: Probably both. I know I'm depressed but I'm definately feeling overwhelmed with the money issues. I hate feeling crunched because of lack of money
RYC;; I agree, and I think it is the fact that she misses Niklas, the baby I gave up for adoption (which myself and my family all agreed was for the best.)
I would have talked to her more ... if she wouldn't have hung up on me lol.

I watched Seasons 1 and 2 in the span of two days. Luckily I didn't have to wait long for season 3 to start...Is it pathetic that I'm going to be ridiculously sad when this season ends? I don't even know if it's been picked up for season 4 or not.
RYC: Me too! A friend of mine and I discuss the show every Wednesday because neither of us can watch it until Wednesdays. She's hooked. I'm hooked. It's terrible
Well I can actually go into psych nursing straight after I graduate if I can find a facility (a clinic or psychiatric hospital) that's hiring. However, in order to really specialize I think I need to get my Masters degree.
That's a ways down the road though. For now I'd be willing to start out as an entry-level nurse and work (either in psych or in medical) while I continue to further my degree. Psychosocial aspects of care are where I shine and I am sick of educational programs that don't focus on my interests. I only get one lifetime after all.
What benefit would result from standing your ground?
From what you've said it sounds like it would drive a wedge between you and your brother and wouldn't improve your relationship with his wifey one iota.
Siblings are the longest relationship anyone usually has in life. It sounds like your relationship with your brother is important to you.
Personally, I'd ignore her behavior. I find that it's rarely a good idea to confront these kind of women. Usually any kind of calling out of this sort of behavior just gets interpreted as proof that they're right; "see? Everyone IS against me and they DO blame me! Whaaaa!!!"
Anyway, I hope that helps you think about how to proceed. Good luck! In-laws can be so difficult.
Ohhh my gosh. She's one of those kind of women.
The whiny, crybaby drama queen women.
Who cares if your mom said "his grandpa" rather then "Grandpa"?
If your mom was to get technical, she could have said "Well, he technically is his grandfather, not yours by blood."
It's sad that your brother married someone like that. My cousin married a woman like that, and he's only my cousin.
I would say spend the holidays with Patrick. And don't sweep it all under the rug just yet.
But maybe ask your brother if he would want to hang out, just you and him.
do you think the 40yr old and 27yr old were actually "dating" or were they a CL-hookup like a fetish thing? (I love people watching and making stories up about them)
