These things happen soop and your loving support will mean the world to your son and dil.
Every family should have a "soop". 
Just agreeing with all the others you are a lovely compassionate person ,with the approach you have you will pour oil on troubled waters,lovely soop 
nellie I used to love Bridge Over Troubled Water. A beautiful song.
Soop, so sorry you have been having such a tough time. You seem to be coping with it amazingly well, with courage and compassion.
soop I can empathise with your troubles, having had a year of real strife with ex-DIL and my son last year. These things become momumental for a while and then both parties move on in their own way. Having a calm approach from you will be invaluable for them.

soop, I feel for you. You seem to have got your equilibrium back but there must be moments when you feel quite bleak. I'm glad you have your visit to the wee man to look forward to.
Whenever I visit this cosy "chat room" I'm bowled over by the messages of comfort and support. I wish that we could all gather around a round table groaning with delicious refreshments and talk to our heart's content. If only! We'd probably need sleeping bags, so that we could have a sleep-over. I promise to keep you updated about the GN first anni article that will appear in The Lady [hopefullly 22nd June]. If I'm not allowed to advertise the magazine, I'm sure that the name can blocked by our good friends you know who. 
Once again, a huge THANK you. I'm so lucky to have you all.
Hang on nellie That Donald's trouble! Our feral cat Rory, growls at intruders. Can you image the fracas if Donald pays a visit! As for the leopard print onesy...he'd go mental. Mind you, if the RSPCA man should turn up, he might well approve of your crafty feline disguise and take you back to his place.
I have all the time in the world.....just not the patience
Well, when I mentioned to Mr soop that we're to have a sleepover, he suggested that Bags might supply some tents...we could all camp on the beach...have a bonfire and barbecue. Mr soop will act as butler and supply us with cocktails. Imagine sitting on the seashore, as the sun sets behind the islands of the inner Hebrides getting plastered, high as kites and enjoying our ourselves in a perfectly improper fashion 
Yes please for a sleep over SOOP
Bags If some of us are prepared to share, a dozen tents should suffice. We should keep one free for Donald Duncan and those of us who get a wee bit out of hand such as *nellie* no names mentioned, for fear of gutter press getting whiff of things!
Having just returned from Amsterdam I topped up supplies!
jeni...I knew we could rely on your good sense!
Better have sleepover sometime next week. Have appointment with "drop-bot" specialist - tomorrow in Glasgow. So it's an early start in the morn. Bet he's not half as much fun as that delectable you-know-who!
Sadly can't drop in to see dear Bags. Mind you, bot could feel a tad sore, so will be for the best. 
Wishing your Botty well tomorrow soop and as we speak sorting my 9 berth tent out and sleeping bags,can I feel a calidhe coming on[have I spelt it right]...
Promise I won't get out ofhand,.....unless you ask nicely
