I like to read, to scrapbook, watch my boys play hockey and baseball, and sit by the lake in the summer.

I think you are correct about estranged children denying something in themselves. Additionally, in my case, my ED's mother and father-in-law seem to be perfect to my daughter. Their marriage, home, vacation home etc. are all what my ED wants in her own life. They are both very nice people but I feel I am as worthy a person as they are. At least now my ED and I are exchanging more frequent e-mails.
Hope you have a great weekend. Love, Gellie
Good luck on your project. i just read your post about boundaries and I feel that the treatment I have received from my ex and my ED told me that to them, I didn't matter. At times I considered suicide but I am blessed with dear friends who were always there to listen and let me know that I mattered to them. I also started to see a therapist who has helped me to value myself.
What I will never understand is how a child could do this to a parent. I had disagreements with my parents but I never would have severed the relationship. They are both gone now and I miss them more that words can express.
Take good care. Love, Gellie
Thank you for your comment on my great-grandfather's gunboat. You are right about ships and exciting adventures. My ex and I went on a cruise for our 25th anniversary and it was wonderful. I hope I can go again sometime in the future.
Have a great rest of the week. Hugs, Gellie
I have been crying at work when I get upset. Started a new job last summer. It is stressful. I have to work with surgeons all day. I can't seem to deal with any dificulty without sobbing uncontrollably about every couple of months. Quite frankly it is embaressing. I can go from feeling great one day to the blackest moods the next. I've gained 20 pounds in the last year. I have acne. I feel like a crazy person!
