    • About Me

      My oldest child (daughter) and I are estranged and it will remain so. She made choices forcing us to have to chose to protect 2 little innocent babes who were then our grands over her. She blames me completely, not her dad, just me. There is no chance that we will ever have the kind of relationship we had before. I cannot allow it as it would endanger my 2 youngest children. I have a son who is married and he and his wife have 2 girls and a boy. They are VERY good parents:)

      From Hathani Monday

      Hubby is more or less in line.................................. At least at the moment :P
      It is very hard to have multiple diagnosis - even harder for kids to have that. Hopefully you will be able to get the meds sorted out for her so that things will settle down for all.
      Love and hugs, Marg

      Hope that you have some sun and warm temperatures and can enjoy a wonderful weekend. We have storms, thunder, lightening, rain - the whole deal.
      The tanks are full again and if this is what autumn will be like we are in for a really good year after so much drought. Love and hugs, Marg

      Just a little note to say I'm thinking of you today. My little way of saying you're special in every way. Have a beautiful day!

      Me? Up and down. Some good and some bad - pretty normal really LOL
      The car could take anything up to a year to get sorted. It is an "extra" project around here and will only get worked on when we have the time to do it and the money for what we need. Right now June would be good but I think December is far more realistic.
      I know that IF I push to get the job a priority ti will end up either not being done at all - or done in a hurry and not done properly - so this will be a lessen in patience. and I am OK with it taking time as long as I can see that there will eventually be an end in sight.
      How are you all gong? Has Sara settled down after her testing? Have you got the results from that yet? If so what are they going to be able to do to help her?

      Love and hugs, Marg

      Well Courtney will learn as she gets older what you need to tell her so that she can understand your reasons for having them, and as you say she does remember some of the things that happened.
      As for Sara I know it is too early to do anything yet but if there is any chance that anyone will tell her in the future I would be inclined to tell her myself. But not now - when she is older.
      Wonder if you DD is jealous of the girls? I know my mum is really jealous of my relationship with her mother. I got all the love and hugs and nurturing that she should have got as well, but never did as they rejected each other almost from her birth (so the family tells it).
      You are doing the right thing reinforcing that bond as often as you can with her and that is something that she will never ever forget as long as she lives.
      It is a huge undertaking that you have taken on and I think that you are doing a great job too. So just keep going the way you are and give them both all the love you can and answer them as honestly as you can for their age and level of understanding.
      Love and hugs, Marg
