Walking up the stairs to the porch, Eva came to meet me. “Tim, I’m sorry about Sunday. We were invited for dinner, but instead, Mom said we were having a family meeting. I had no idea what she had planned. Dad told us you were going to hire a lawyer to present your plans for Ann Marie to hear. Mom said it was a waste of money. There isn’t anything wrong with her.” “Eva, that was no excuse for what you said to me.” “Tim, John, and I thought it was better if I said something rather than

You summed it correctly. There was a saying that when you are in the middle of a forest it's hard to see the trees. I don't think anyone in the family has set down and looked at the factors that has led Tim to his decisions. It's to bad you can't turn the clocks back.
-
I think the meeting made Tim feel like he was being ambushed. He's on the right track. Getting Ann Marie help in a place away from home will help. She needs to be isolated for a period of time, among strangers.
-
I agree. Usually when there is conflict within the immediate family, one member exhibits that conflict and generally it is from favoritism, I think Tim taking Ann Marie out of that hospital and away from the family will be beneficial to Ann Marie as well as the family.
-
There is something wrong with Tim's mother. Tim is trying to avoid having AM a permanent resident at home. His mother wasn't happy and was stressed when AM was there. I can think of only two reasons for Tim's mom acting as she is. 1. she feels guilty and is afraid that any resolution will point the finger at her or 2, she is expressing an anger at Tim because the attention Tim's dad gave him.
-
You are right, his Dad is trying to walk the fence. As most people know who tried to walk a fence, sooner or later you lose your balance
-
Yes they did steam roll Tim. Imagine walking into a hornets nest. Tim is going to isolate them from AM and from now on I expect relations between Him and his family is going to cool for a while.
-
Hate always leaves a mark, not only on the heart but in the eyes as well. She hates Tim so much that her eyes are blinded to what he is trying to do.
-
I'm not sure if Stephen being gay is an issue. AM will do anything to hurt Tim. if taking Stephen away will hurt Tim then she'd try. of course she is stupid, there is no way anyone will take Stephen away from Tim.

The rest of the week, I worked on the agreement. Friday, walking home, “I would like to go home on Sunday. Dad has contacted a lawyer, and I need to review the Ann Marie file with him.” “We have dinner with Mom, Dad, and Gramps on Saturday. I think Gramps may have a surprise for you.” “What kind of surprise and why for me? I haven’t done anything.” “I think he wants to reward you for the agreement.” “There is nothing special in the agreement.” “Tim, Gramps now owns 10 pe

This will be Tim's last effort before he takes the next step off committing her to special hospital that can deal with the emotional problem. It certainly can't go on like it has.
-
I agree and I think the solution is over John's head. Tim is giving it one last try. Then he will have to make a serious decision that will have long term effects with Mom.
-
You are welcome. Love is more than starry eyes looks, it goes deeper and there is no question that Stephen is totally in love with Tim. I think Tim reciprocates that love as well.
-
Yes, a royalty is the best way, as long as Key industries is operating. Gramps has an income.

Arriving home, I was tired, and I wasn’t sure if it was physical or emotional tiredness. I was ready to sleep in my bed. “Stephen, I need to go to bed. For some reason, I’m exhausted.” “Let’s take a shower, and then I’ll give you a massage. You’ll sleep better with having a massage.” It’s not very often we go to sleep without making love, and tonight was one of those nights. Tim was still sleeping when I went and startled the coffee. I knew when he would smell the coffee, h

I believe you are right. Generally someone with psychologic issues needs several years to work it out their problems. I think Tim is looking at AM's problem being psychologic rather than medical. We will see what John turns up.
-
I agree with you. I thought my mom was a good cook, but a chef would prepare balanced meals. Imagine a three star chef in your kitchen. The kitchen itself would be something else. I envied Julia Childs husband.
-
I thought that AM smiled at Stephen was interesting. She knows he is married to Tim and still flirts with him. I don't think Mom is going to come around until she deals with her guilt
-
Yes, the farm will be a shrine to Donnie.
-
More drama then needed. Ann Marie would be in heaven if she knew how much negativity she is creating. One wonders how Tim and Eva came though this sane.
-
Yes, every hot head needs a cool down period. She will cool down when she is able to process Tim's arrangements for Ann Marie. She needs counseling and I'm sure John will arrange that.
-
Remember in the apartments it was only the two of them. One of the reasons Aunt Clara has recovered was a combination of attention by Eva and the family. She was made to feel as a part of a family. Moving away into the farm will break that bond between her and the family. She will be reminded of that time she was alone except when Randy was home

I told her and the mirror broke. There was a weird laughter heard as the mirror cracked

On Saturday, we went to Stephen’s home for dinner. Walking into the kitchen, Mom met us, we got our hugs and kiss. “Stephen, take this tray to the conservatory, and Tim, would you take this urn of coffee. Dinner will be ready at 1.” Walking into the conservatory, Dad stood and hugged us. Gramps hugged Stephen, and then when he hugged me, “Tim, I need to talk to you after dinner.” I thought he might want to talk about the circuit board that Stephen was working on. Dinner was a roas

I think dad needs to be there as well.
