People who have disowned me because I'm moving=2.
Number of people who are "enablers" because you support me in the decision to move= All the rest of you. You know who you are. Whee!

I love my brother. Really... I do. Way to add stress to the girl who is waiting until the last pea in the dish to pack anyway. :eyes:

2. Disowned you because you're moving. Does not compute.
:wtf:

Life's too short for crap like that. I'm sorry that's happening.

I support your decision to move. :hug: I wish you the ability to forget the ones who aren't supporting you and I wish you more and more good people to surround you - and quick friends at your new home.

:hug:

I'm exaggerating. Only my mother has "technically" disowned me.
My brother only thinks I am wrong to do this and should be forgetting all about my life before, and that I need "help" (you know that kind) and that anyone who thinks that I should be doing this right now is just an enabler.

Last time my brother came home for a visit that didn't have to do with his brother in law=2003. Days spent with me last August=2.

4. I wish you success, regardless of destination...
As long as it's not New Jersey. People often make a stereotypical simile to Hell like how I just had...

5. The only reason I'm miffed is that you didn't move here.

9. Ooh, good point. That would seriously cut down my chances
of course the fact that I'm not actually on the prowl doesn't actually help my chances.

10. I personally wished you'd come back to Wisconsin ;-)
but completely understand the need to go where you'll be accepted and allowed to heal.

14. "Gotta do what you gotta do"
My motto, alongside "Don't stick extremities into laser beams"

Both have kept me out of trouble

24. I don't expect a whole lot of "blood" relatives to visit.
But it's okay. I know my dad and my close friends will.

30. It's because now we will all be equally "away". So there isn't anyone
left holding the bag. If he was honest with himself, he would realize that. But he isn't. So he doesn't.

35. vs. People who love you no matter what = 9,000,000,000.


So. 9,000,000,000,000 - 2 = 8,999,999,999,998.

You're still way ahead.
