My families adventure on the road to oz via Germany

18 years of wedded bliss

Today is our wedding anniversary and it should be a happy occasion. But it has been overshadowed by a meeting today with the family who have accused J of terrorising the estate. It is mainly the woman who did all the talking. Not even listening to the welfare officers who are representing our units when offering her solutions. 

As i suspected the meeting achieved nothing other than this woman got an audience to rant and rave about how bad our son is. she would not listen to reason and could not accept her daughter has some responsibility in the situation. It boils down to she wants to be away from us and wants us to keep our boys away from her girls. She thinks we are bullies.

Im emotinally shaking after she doubts our parenting skills and put all her daughters problems squarely at our door.

Un known to this woman we have been offered a chance of  a 4 bedroom house 5k's away where all the other senior ranks are. Im seriously thinking about this move. As this woman really does intimate me and im sure she is trying to get back up from other familes to say we are awful.

Hopefully we are going to see the houses this week. It will be an upheaveful but i personally think if it gets us a chance to relax and live stress free then it is worth it. As keeping J in all the time for fear of what other things he gets accused off is affecting us all.

Although she may feel that if we move it will be her victory, at the end of the day, we get an extra bedroom so the boys arn't sharing anymore , a bigger garden and a much nicer 'posh' house. I know that if we do move some one else will be guilty of 'hurting' her daughter. So i know moving will give J chance to play out with out any hassle.

Ive got an assignment to get started , but tonight i will crack open the wine to celebrate not only being with V 18 years, but celebrating the success he had at the army 10 pin bowling championship. he got 5 trophies in all.

Well back to assignment

Happy anniversary!

Although I don't think you should be forced to move - it does sound like a much more appealing offer! Maybe it could be a good thing? Good luck with whatever you decide!

Go for it, fresh start will be great for you all and Happy Anniversary!

I know the move will seem like she's won but at the same time the boys deserve a life. Their all good boys and J in particular needs to be able to run off his excess energy and is not the evil child this woman keeps painting him to be. I for one love all the boys and I wouldn't choose to be around the boys if they were not good kids. And I'm looking forward to your visit in Amsterdam once I finally sort my accomodation. Maybe a move will be the best thing for you all. If you need any help let me know and if I can I will.

Also HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

Love
Melissa
