Wow that's a lot of stuff Miss Lena, pretty alarming! Why is your ex friend and ex friend and not a current friend?
I know what you mean about the mother taking the husband's side, same thing happened with Mrs. J in her divorce, really shocking and total betrayal because the guy was an abusive jerk.
Oh, tornados. Yes, we are in what they call Tornado Alley which runs from the Gulf Coast up through TX, Ok, KS, and Nebraska. This one was in Dallas so it wasn't close enough to affect us.
Thank God, but I hope you have a place to hide if you area would get affected!
Anyway, in the case of my ex friend, the were both crazy and when she was with a second partner, she was treating him like shit and I realized that she is no better than her ex husband. We had several disagreements and eventually I told her to buzz off, lol.
Her loss! She wasn't very smart. Too bad.
As far as hiding, we don't have a storm shelter or basement but we wouldn't hide anyway. We've had huge tornado storms come at us and we always use our authority and rebuke them. Storms are easy actually. Sometimes we get on the radar online and watch them change course.
