Thanks Kathy,
You have covered my question very well,I asked that question to see if we were on the same page.
There is only one way to tell the truth and that is to tell the truth.
My mother-in-law asked me once if I was cheating on my wife which is her daughter:-) I told her sure is. And if she don't get it together I am going to leave her for the one I am cheating with. And when my wife asked, I told her that one and a few others. Did that destroy our relationship? "No" it did not it only proved that there was something wrong and I was not going to deal with it any longer.
Well I have been Married 35 years and some, because I am open to what is going on around me. I don't deal with stupid, and I don't like fantasy.
I know that the best relationship is built on truth.
Did I have repercussions from that? Yes I did. But being me I was able to overcome it,because of truth.
Lay the cards on the table face up.
As for children we had four 1 girl which is 36 years old with two boys, one son who died shortly after birth, one who was murdered in Arkansa at age 21 who left two daughters behind, one son who is at home now with me because he did not listen to me and has to come home and start all over again. He will be 30 this year.But now that he is here I and his mother is doing all we can to get him on track. The direction is ours and the work is his.
He better get it together because he has a wife and 11 children spread out over many women. And they are still coming out of the wood-work. This is our baby boy.
I am the second oldest of twelve babies of my parents and I know what it takes to help others in need. "Truth"!. As I have had to help all of them at one time or another including my oldest brother before he died at 53 in Sept 2003, with his second wife.
By the way I married my wife in 1970! She is a "Strong WOMAN"!, and boss.
Well now you and the rest know something about me.
God Bless You all.
Jerome
