Point Of No Return

About This Poem

Last Few Words: this poem is about my husband's sister. she hated me from the minute she met me. at our wedding she went around telling my NEW relatives some very private things about me, things I had entrusted to Steve. things that were very painful. he thought he could trust his sister. a few months later, we were visiting his mother, and Wendy happened to be there. also his cousins and their mates were there. we were sitting at the table having lunch. Wendy started cattily picking at me. after a short time I'd had enough. I called her on it...told her to meet me in the back yard and we would settle it. something in my voice and eyes scared her bad and she went in the bathroom, locked the door and stayed there! Ron, one of the cousins apologized to me for her and talked me out of beating the crap out of her...it took a lot of talking!
