The Kindness Bench for SimLit Writers - For All Games!

The LIST of things that has hit us in the last 6 months is unreal. My eldest daughter was diagnosed with MS .. watching her go thru it (the medicine is terrifying) and seeing her hubby struggle with his church (he is a pastor) and her 2 littles having to grow up so soon to help mom ... my middle baby's hubby of 8 years abandoned her and her 2 little sweeties .. he always has been a bit of ladies man but now it is off the hook. The grief of knowing that my 2 sweet grand will grow up likely shouldering his selfishness .. aaugh! I spend most of my daylight hours being a support to them and I do not begrudge it but it does get hard. My youngest daughter is just disappearing on us ... he hubby became a cop and works nights .. she started hanging out in the bars downtown and while we see her physically a couple time of week for coffee it is becoming increasingly obvious that she is not with us at all. My hubby's job came under fire because one of his employees did not read a contract that she executed for the company and obligated them for just under 36,000 dollars for a 3 year printer rental (yeah you read that right .. robbers!)! Even tho she has the companies complete authority to act as a rep my hubs is the one they say shoulder the responsibility. If this litany were not enough ... my eldest grand boy (13 years old) was born with so many disabilities. He is a big boy with a big heart and he often just does not understand the things of the world. For the past 2 years or so a little bully and his jerk papa have made life for jojo miserable. The kid has done terrible things to jojo and poor jo he just wants a friend so he trusts the kids all the time. The kids knows Jo is special needs and easily drawn ... he hand cuffed Jo to a fence behind a shed once .. another time tried to get Jo t pluck his own eyes out (of of course (with a trick) he showed jo how it can be done (I was so fricken furious) .. they say things like hey squish this dog turd and I will let you see my skylander figurines (the kid has none so of course is so funny to him). His daddy is even worse .. he treats Jo like an animal (well worse actually) so my daughter and SIL of course curtailed the relationship. Ever since then the dad will set out on his step and stare Jo down (what kind of man does this ... even has stared me down driving past his house .. I wanted to go say something but my daughter will not allow it) .. yesterday it all came to a head. Jojo was in his own yard pretending to be a Ninja (his mental age is about 7 or 8) just rolling around they yard ... when the papa started making faces at and laughing (mockingly) WHAT grown man does this? My eldest was livid when Jo came in crying so she and her hubby went out and worked on her flowers while he played around ... the man came driving by staring so they both stared back ... later that day the man came home and with a poison pen decided to inform the church members on what a hypocrite their pastor was .. and accusing jonah of trying intimidate him .. like he is a danger and needs to be put away. If you knew my grand and my SIL you would know this is so far from any truth. No one will believe it of course .. my SIL is a lovey gentle man and I know this papa is banking on that ... this man I tell you is the straw!! I am so done! NOT Sims related at all ...
