My brother won't talk to me because I still talk to his ex. She has the kids. If I want to see the kids I need to maintain a good relationship with their mom. And anyway, I like her. Unlike my brother, she's never tried to extort me.
Tramadol does nothing for me. Same with Vicodin and Oxy. Nothing. I just suffer. Luckily it's never been anything worse than broken bones and wisdom teeth. ☹️
