Why is this bothering me so much??


quick summary, 8 years ago I found my ex step son on Facebook, invited him to meet his brother and then into our home and back to my heart. He called me mom, his kids call me Grammie, I knew how horribly he had been raised and how hard his life had been for him. Doing what I could for him and trying to help him was really hard, his narcissistic ways made it impossible to get him to see things different. He’s been in and out of trouble, and was arrested again last Friday for stealing cars. The part that is bothering me is the woman who he had been staying with for the past idk, 6 months is calling him her son. She has known him since birth, but I don’t know how much of his life she has been in, she has been the one in contact with the law since he was living with her and they all think she is mom, I told her I was upset finding out about him almost 24 hours after and not by her,that I felt pushed to the sidelines and that it bothered me she was calling him son, but it didn’t matter even if she said sorry and said it wasn’t like that but then still kept me in the dark about what she knew and then on Facebook she is posting how much she misses him and it’s all her son…..

this is not supposed to be about me, I have no legal right to call him son, so why is it bothering me so much that she is?

Tragedy in Maine


One of our beloved heroes was killed while on active duty,

A Somerset County Sheriff’s corporal has been shot and killed in Norridgewock, according to the Somerset County Sheriff’s Office. He was a 13 year veteran and his son is also a part of the Somerset County Sheriff department. He was a well known and well loved member of his community.

Maine State Police say between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. Wednesday, Somerset County Sheriff’s Corporal Eugene Cole was shot and killed in Norridgewock.

The suspect then stole the officers cruiser and used it to rob a Cumberland Farms store.

Shortly after 5 a.m., police say the cruiser was located off of the Martin Stream Road in Norridgewock.

That particular road leads in so many directions, one being here to my home, that the police have had to spread out across the state in search.

An active manhunt is underway for the suspect, who is considered armed and dangerous. It has been said John Williams was a very active drug user and gun collector. His Facebook page was filled with end of the world conversations.

The last time a Maine officer was shot and killed in the line of duty was 29 years ago on March 31, 1989.

This sort of things don’t happen to us here in Maine. It has shook the whole state.

please keep in mind, a person on drugs killed our hero, not the gun itself.

Our hearts and prayers are with his family as well as our active officers seeking the suspect.

Rest In Peace Maine hero
