Im so sorry youre such a nice woman, dont you Just wish God would strike these troublemakers dead?? My brother just would make snide comments all my life, he was nasty to my kids when they were growing up, despite the fact I watch their kids, and included them in my functions... When my son left he just fueled the fire, the last time seeing him he was terrible to me, with a ugly evil gleeful sneer. My son goes there , and celebrated Christmas there, The chrysal ornaments I bought for my mother hangs on their tree... He has screwed her over financially , as with others , for years.. He loves to see me hurting, They get power off this.. How old is your son that she needs to send $$$? My dau has not forgotten, or shes lying to me,, she refuses to be involved.. You would think these kids would see a snake in the grass...One day they will stand before the Judge, and there will be no denying their game... Im so very sorry, Im sure this hurts you huggs

She sounds vindictive. I raised my stepson with my hubby & his ex-wife treated me the same way.
Remind yourself of this: There is a REASON you raised her kids & she didn't. That really stinks, but let her dig her own hole, she will eventually fall in!

Sovery. Never apologize for posting. We need each other's support. What is taking place is not easy to stand by and watch as I have learned with our ED 's enablers. The truth is there is little we can do a out it. Pray for grace and make your focus The Lord. I have found that many of our ED's enablers did not last for one reason or another. God will have His way.

Oh I have been where you are & it is a terrible ride. For me it was my sister-in-law My son just turned 40 but when he was 5 she took him for a week I he was never the same little boy again. She called me in 2008 AFTER my ex told me everyone was forbidden to give me any pictures of my grandson & told me she had pictures for me & all the way down there I wondered what am I walking into. She gave me 2 picture her her 1 st grandchild & my BIOLOGICAL grandson a beautiful picture of r 4 girls & the 2 babies Then laid the last picture down. It was apicture of HER & HER FAMILY. My ex & his sister family are just wicked & vindictive. And you know what really really really ticks them off is to know they are forgiven LOL .
I just sent a tussie mussie to some else that had a bad day I don't know how to spend a hug with a reply but close your eyes & think of a yellow rose, a gerber daisy a spray of blueberries a sprig of pine & a magnolia leaf tied together with a pretty ribbon. TRANSLATION my friend (yellow rose) i know you are sad(gerber daisy) my pray (blueberries) for you is that you will find the perseverance (magnolia leaf) & hope (pine) you need in Romans 5: 3-5 take care it does get easier with time but it takes a long time. martha

First, soverysad, Im sorry for your pain. I like what gordos said at the end of her comment. People do tend to do that to themselves. If she doesn't have to deal with her behavior here, she will when she faces God. Hang in there.

martha2014: I searched through the help section and couldn't find the instructions for hugs, so couldn't direct you there. But its easy:

If you are friends with someone you can send them hugs. Some people have it set up where you can send hugs even if you aren't friends. A few have it blocked until you are friends. Left click on someones name, it will pull up their profile page...to the far left, you are given several choices, one is give them a hug, click there, that takes you to their hugs. You could also scroll down their profile page and it will take you to their hug section, it will give you the option of sending one from there as well. There will be many different hugs to choose from, left click on the hug you want then go to the right down arrow to get to the comment box...if you hit a different key, it will move to a different hug symbol, that's why I arrow down. When you get to the message box, go inside and left click, write what you want to say then go down to send, hit that and you should be done.

Friends, if I missed something, please add it or correct it. Hope this helps.
