I understand your feelings Renee, even though I'm not supposed to feel them for my James until we're married. When you love someone you can't help but want to be close tho them in a physical way. We as women crave intimacy with our guys, and would give almost anything for even one moment of precious alone time with them. Maybe you could write him a letter today, expressing how you're feeling. Would that help? I wish I was there. I would gladly take you to visit him. I know how much visits from family mean to them and us.
Do you know what is wrong with your car. Will it be expensive to fix? Just know I'm thinking of you and love you very much. Lorie Ann

I am so sorry. That is a very unkind thing for your daughter to say. My kids say things like that now and then and it really hurts me. I am sure she really didn't mean it. Kids can say some horriable things. I think maybe it comes with the age. Hopefully she will grow out of it soon. Thats what I am hopeing with my kids. Until then I just feel the pain and then try to understand. Tell her how much it hurts you. She may be mad but at least she will know she hurt you and it might think twice next time before saying those things. It seems the cold and the Holidays brings us all down. Hopfully things will return to somewhat normal in the new year. Hand in there girlfriend. Take some time for you.

You neeed to hang in there, I for one know what it feel like when cruel words come out of their mouth. Try to ignore here, they always say people take their anger out on the ones they feel closet to, a physcholigist told me that once upon a time ago. she probably didn't mean it. Its hard not being with them physically, we had that treat once upon a long time ago in 1999, 10 years ago, but they took it away from us when they put him in a medium, so I know what you are going through, wish I could help, just smile or try to, it will get better.

I'm sorry your having a bad day. Sometimes when people who love you want to say something out of anger they pick something that will hurt you the most. I'm sure she didn't mean it. Things will get better, hang in there!

So sorry it is so rough for you right now. I know this depressing cold weather sure doesn't help. Unless it is actually warm where you are.

These people are a part of our lives but we see them, talk to them, and maybe touch them. Not when we would like or need them. But when someone else tells us it is okay. That is hard to swallow. It has been just way too long since I was able to hug my son. Over 3 yrs now.

Talking to them, writing a letter helps alot but still we miss having them with us whenever.

Some day that is going to change for now we have our memories, and letters, and phone calls and visits to help us thru this time.
Of course each other in this group.

I am here any time you want to talk.
Love Rhea

Whomever said the truth comes out in angry words told you a lie.. That's when people say anything to hurt you, and generally there's no truth to it at all. And another thing is family can you hurt you more then anyone else with words.. Especially your own child.. I hope you two have worked through that difficult time and things are better.. And I hope you've been able to find some peace and renewed strength for yourself. It's very hard to wait it out. And it's easy to get down.. Your last line sums it all up to me though. You CHOOSE the relationship. Good for you for knowing it's your choice, and for telling yourself that after someone says such a hurtful thing. You're stronger then you know.

i hope you are feeling better today.

I agree with Jodi, Renee! People lie just to hurt our feelings...especially family.....I sure hope today is a much better day for you.......We have all been there...It sucks!
