Sum..Sum...Summertime!

My youngest child just became a Senior in high school. I couldn't be more proud of him! He wants to spend what will be his last chance most likely, a couple weeks with his grandpa, my father. I just got word that my dad's wife isn't over grieving for her son who died in an accident last year. Now, I'm not doubting she's still hurting. But in my own opinion, if she's grieving so much, then why is she going fishing and drinking all the time? Whatever. I also found out that my nephew will be going on a trip w/my dad to West Virginia to see family. My nephew is a few months older than my son and graduated high school this year. Now, my dad has to pass through our town to get to WVA. I don't for the life of me understand why he can't stop by here and get my son too. It'd keep my nephew company on the long trip there and back. Plus, it wouldn't be an inconvenience for my dad to do so. But, I see who the favorites of the family is...and it certainly isn't me or my kids. I feel like an outcast to be frank. Like none of my family gives a rats ass about me. Thank God above for my husband. For if it wasn't for him....I'd have done off with myself a long time ago. Welcome to my crappy world of family everybody! Family isn't all it's cracked up to be. The only one that even remotely acts at times like they care about me or my kids is my mom, God bless her sweet soul. She's the only family I care about on my side. The others can rot in hell for how they've treated me and my kids and husband.
