Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Right now we are getting a very nasty thunderstorm. Heavy rain, winds and lots of thunder. The weather last night said we were in for a pretty much rainy week ahead so yeah to that...not! 
 Mom took the day yesterday and was not really on any electronics at all. It was day to just do what I wanted...well actually the long 3 day weekend was that because no one talked to one another at all. Things this way are still pretty bad. I will explain in a few minutes. This weekend was h*ll for us. The renters all around here lit fireworks off on July 3rd from 12 noon until midnight or 1 am and then July 4th... they were lighting them from 12 noon again until 3 am Sunday morning. That was a tough weekend for so many reasons and very little sleep for Mark and Mom because of Princess. Ozzy did pretty well but P was another story. She shook and wouldn't eat or drink for 2 days. It was horrible. Mark is sick again. He fell asleep at 9:30 pm last night and Mom decided to go to bed too. I slept until 3 am straight and then was up from 3 am until 5:15 am and then fell back to sleep until 7:25 am this morning. Mark slept all night and I think it was what he needed. He is doing better today but not 100% at all. He has been working since 8 am this morning and on the phones all day long. Mom was up, fed the pups, took them out and then relaxed downstairs while Ozzy slept in his bed next to me. Meme and Bob came downstairs, said nothing and walked out the door. Mom came upstairs and got ready, made the bed, spoke to Auntie Kristina and then Bonnie. I got lunch and have been in my office ever since. My college just released my next lesson so I was unable to work on that today but I will work on it for a couple hours tomorrow before I go to my nail appointment in the afternoon. Tomorrow will be the first time I drive to my nail appointment by myself. Meme has decided not to go to the nail salon anymore with me. I know where I am going so I will be just fine. I know you will be with me as well so I have nothing to fear! 
 Usually and lately, Mom has said that I have no new updates at all but today that is not the case. Since Thursday, July 2nd when Meme went to go meet the new potential pup things have been horrible around here. A lot has been said and has changed and also new news for us all. Of course you know that it was suppose to be a meet and greet but meme decided to take the pup, Rocky with her that day. That was not the way it was suppose to go but anyways.... you also know that on Friday, less then 24 hours later, her and Bob were not watching their pup and I didn't know it was near me and he was and Ozzy got jealous and went after him and bit him. They went to the vets and he got checked out. He is fine which is a very good thing. Well since that incident, Meme will not let me or Princess and Ozzy near Rocky. When we are upstairs, they are downstairs and vice versa. She carries him all around. She won't let our pups get on his bed or anything but Rocky can get on all our furniture, etc..... They have not ate dinner with us since last Wednesday night. Meme I guess was quite upset with the lady who sold Rocky to her. She called me while at the vets and asked for her number. I gave it to her and I found out later that she called her and I guess was not nice to her at all. Saturday came and went and in the afternoon, Mom received a message from that lady asking where the pup was.... I said the pups was here and said I was confused. I guess Meme gave her such an attitude that she was expecting the dog to be returned to her. I told her I was not at the vets with them and I knew nothing about the conversation. I told her to contact Meme about it. So I went downstairs to get dinner going and I told Meme what happened. She gave me an attitude and I told her that if she spoke to that lady the way she was speaking to me then yeah the lady had every right to tell her what she did. Meme is just not learning when it comes to her attitude at all here. She has been told so many times that she can not speak that way but yet she still continues to do as she pleases. After that she didn't want to talk to me or anyone so she went to her room with Rocky in tow. Sunday was no better. She wouldn't let anyone get near the pup. She constantly yells at Ozzy and won't speak to Mark or I. She still marches around like she rules this house but she got a rude awakening yesterday when I told her that this dynamics was not working out with the way she was acting and not allowing the pups to get used to one another. She started saying that I was strict and had too many rules. I told her that if having her clean up after themselves, stop buying stuff that was not needed...her hoarding tendencies, and to let Mark and I have some privacy then yup I was guilty of being strict. She went on to play the blame game on Mark as well. She said it was his fault for her selling her home in NH, his fault that she got ride of a lot of her things, his fault that she lost about 5k and the list went on and on. All the blame on everyone but herself and her attitude and the way she has been acting. I feel so bad for Bob as he has no say in it and I feel bad for Rocky as he can't even get near us and just be a dog. He is the cutest little guy and so sweet and calm. Meme treats him as if he is Skittles and that is not right or fair. Both Bob and Aunt Beck mentioned that Meme doesn't seem to be stable in the mind. I am starting to wonder myself now. Anyways.... this morning I thought... new day new week lets see what happens.... well mark said good morning to Meme as he always does and she turned her back to him and said nothing. Ozzy and Princess went to say hello to her and she snubbed them both. She said nothing to me and would not acknowledge me at all. So much for my thought process..... Bob came down for breakfast and I went and apologized to him. I told him I knew he couldn't do anything and that his hands were tied. He said he didn't understand why she was acting the way she is. He told her to knock it off. She basically told him to be quiet. She told Bob that she was not going to talk to Mark and I and that he wasn't allowed to either. The pup was not allowed near us or our pups. This is BS behavior so I did the only thing I knew was needed. I told Meme and Bob that they had to move out of this house. I will not tolerate this behavior and let Mark bust his butt to pay all the bills for us and them like he has been doing. No more. I told them they have 2 weeks to be packed and moved as I was not going to deal with the way she is acting for longer than that. Guess they went to look at a place today but Bob said he was not allowed to tell me anything. Again...childish behavior per Meme. I don't know if she thinks I am going to tell her to not look or move out but that will not happen at all. Not now and not after the way she is treating us. I tried talking to Aunt Beck to fill her in and she is still busy. I did message her to let her know though. I think in the end that this is the best for everyone. If Meme and Bob want to hoard things it will be in there own place. Rocky will be able to walk around and be a pup like the way it should be. Mark and I will be able to hopefully work on our marriage and get back on track. All Mom knows is that the arrangements that we are all in right now are not working and are not healthy for anyone...canine or humans. Mark and Mom had good intentions when we thought all this could work. Mark has busted his butt for 11 months now and has been paying for everything. I have always thanked him but I am the only one who has. Everything is my word against everyone else but I will tell you what.... God knows that I am telling the truth, He knows what has been said, done and what hasn't. I have nothing to be guilty or ashamed of at all. Everyone was thinking the same thing as Mom but I was the only one who had the balls to say it and for that I am to blame. It is what it is. Maybe someday things will be better but I am not sure. Meme holds grudges forever and I can see her doing just that with Mom. As sad as that is. Right now I have to focus on everything that I normally do.... my marriage and fixing it, not sure that is possible, the pups, school and my box business. The rest will fall into place the way it is suppose to now. Whatever that looks like....time will tell. Please be with me, Tyler. Give me the strength that I will need to get through this whole mess. I need your help, pumpkin. Thank you. 
 Mom will light a candle for you later tonight and whisper to you as I always do. Smile for me and I will smile to you. God knows and so do you just how much I miss you my sweet precious son. Mom wishes that I could hear your voice. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you live inside my heart, mind, body and soul. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. For now it is after 3 pm and Mom needs to make a couple calls and then do a few things before it is time for the night routine stuff. Have fun while I sleep tonight. Come visit if you can. Until tomorrow comes.... good night and sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah 💛
