I for one, am thankful for Ginger. Without her, we'd have no fornits. I was on myspace.com and got the boot from a group called WWASP. I didn't threaten anyone, but let's just say there was a lot of back and forth bickering between 6-7 of us that led to over a 100 posts in one day. The group leader didn't like what was said, and I was banned.
It's amazing to me how quickly Alex's family claims the victim role. They were talking all kinds of smack and still are. Then when they realize they are out numbered they whine about how WE attacked their family blah blah blah. I don't feel sorry for you. You've slung enough mud.........to erect a whole village of mud huts!!!!
BTW, I lived with my boyfriend, and his Mom. I was 19 and he was 18 and a senior in H.S., she caught all kinds of grief from people but she stood her ground. After he graduated, and attended JC for 1 year she bought us a great condo in Boulder, Co. smack dab on Pearl Street. Which is downtown. He attended university, I went into shock of being out of my element, and 2 months later returned to California.
So, I don't think there is much wrong with Leslie letting her daughters boyfriend live with them temporarily. Especially when Alex's parents have screwed up the trust between them. I think it's a natural reaction for Alex to want to go home. But, then he gets there, and probabley feels this isn't right either?!! It's tough, and I feel for him. In time it'll work out. But, there was a better way of going about this. Don't send away your child to strangers, and expect them to perform miracles.
