Tell me all about it, dear...

Emailing you, because I'm about to get all inappropriately analytical and I don't think I want to do it here.

Kids don't come with guarantees - or even warranties. Sad but true. And neither do we. The only thing we can give ourselves is that we did the very best we could. You broke the mold of bad parenting and have been an attentive mother to your children. What they do with that gift is up to them. Some of the choices children make are difficult to understand, but nothing can take away the love and dedication you gave them. That will always have a place in the world. It will always be put to use - if not for someone else, then it comes back to ourselves. Love is never wasted. You have changed the direction your life seemed destined to go. You show up in a big way, LA. You are an angel. I know you don't see that right now, but it's true. It's a hard thing, but you do it well. Be kind to yourself. Give yourself time to find your way. You have never left the path. You are always going in the right direction. Come visit me and I will tell you the story of my New Zealand angel who explained that to me on a cold abandoned highway with my campervan in the ditch. We are always divinely guided to teach, to learn, to serve, and to be served. Blessings, my dear.

It sounds like you really do need some hugs today. It's too bad that sometimes good parents are paired up with ungrateful children, and good children are sometimes born to bad parents. It sucks that you ended up flanked with difficult people. Considering everything, you've done an amazing job, and you're still doing an amazing job. I'm so glad that Mick is there, and that you have at least one 3D person who really, truly loves you.

Nothing wise to say. Just, well, um, see nothing. Peace

I went through a long period with Leigh where she hated me, and nothing I've suffered in my life hurt more than that. I'm so glad you have Mick, and I just want you to know that I love you, too; I really do.

I remember talking to my therapist one day when my elest son thought I was such a bitch. I told him that I wanted to son my granddaughter something for her birthday but I was afraid my son would either throw it out or think I was trying to buy his daughter's love. The therapist talked to me about Karma and he told me that I would be sending good Karma to my granddaughter if I sent her something. I had not control over what happened to the gift once it left my hands and no control over what my kids would think about the gift but it was a good thing that I would be sending it out with love. So, we raise our kids with love - that's the good Karma. We have no control over what our kids do with our love. So sad...but so true
