Tresss,

I am sorry... I understand.. I lost all contact with my daughter one year ago. I am broken. But have faith in the Lord... I will try to support you.. I have a great counselor, but the pain is still here. I dread mothers day.

I'm so sorry. I KNOW how painful this is for you! I haven't seen my Son in almost 13 years! I've never seen my Grandchildren and I know that I never will! You can't choose the children that you bring into the World unfortunately. They are their own people and they are going to think the way they do no matter what you say or do. I did everything that I could to re connect with my son and it was fruitless. You have to go on for yourself no matter how painful it may be for you. You owe yourself something too!! My son said that if I ever contacted him again that he'd get me fired from my job!! That is an ENEMY not a son!! Go on with your life! My mother once told me, children come through you not from you!! Don't give up!!!

My daughter has threatened to do this too when she has kids. Tell me I'm a grandparent and then refuse to let me see them. ....she's hoping to cause maximum pain but I think I'm quite emotionally cut off now still hurts on occasion though

I can certainly relate to what you are feeling. I was estranged from my son 3 years ago and worked hard to reunite..despite all of this recently he reacted to a troublesome interaction and told me "never bother me again." How I deal with this is through prayer and have a therapist I see weekly. One day at a time...

I see a therapist too but I just want to give up .. I don't feel there is a life without my granddaughters in it .

Wow... everyone is so alike here. I have not read the book yet... Done with the crying? By Sheri McGregor... but plan on it. I have triggers that set me off on out of control sobbing ... I would not allow my daughter to see her boyfriend more then twice a week during her last year of school. We had reasons... She turned her two older siblings against me and they agreed I was too strict. So I am in counseling for deep betrayal. Basically it all spiraled out of control.. now they are mad at me. I asked them to stay out of the situation and they did not appreciate that.. Now I have 3 that refuse to talk to me... I have deep faith in God and know he is trustworthy... Love to you all.
