My kids
I have 4 Children . My oldest is a lifer for a crime he confessed to that most of us believe he didn't do . My second child is doing well , other than he doesn't know I exist unless there is a crisis in his life , my 3 child , my only daughter , who is the source of all my pain , is locked me out of her life , believing things she created in her mind to make it easier , and my youngest child was given up at birth . My kids want me to turn my back on the one in prison , and I can't and won't and because I don't , I don't get to see my grandchildren .
My daughter was always with me , the boys were raised by thier father . She got things I never had , she was spoiled beyond reality .
She has false memory syndrome . She is 32 and believes with all her heart the things her mind manifests ...from the simplest of things to the most horrendous ... last year , she came to me , by phone and told me she had memories coming back to her of sexual misconduct , of all in her family , accusing of such things made us all very ill , and concerned for her well being . I offered to pay for her going to a Dr but she swears by her memories . Even when shown proof of some things , she denies the visible truth ...
I am truly hurt by her actions , for 10 yrs now , since my Son went to prison , we've become estranged :(

I can see myself in your shoes, as far as never hearing from my son again. All I know is that God allowed these things to happen for your greater good and he wants you to have peace. I pray that you can be the best grandma and show love and focus on who you have not who you don\'t. Quick story. My brother died in 1995. I had nearly 1 year old twins. My mother\'s only joy after that was through the twins. She might as well have gone into that grave with my brother, I felt cheated after that. she died in 2009. and spent the remainder of her years despondent over his death. Living life for and with whom I do have because they are watching and want a mom who loves them and is not focused on what she doesn\'t have. Its hard, but they see my smile and I love on them. I had to do something when my daughter recently wrote a story about her greatest wish is to have ME be happy again. I have to the other kids deserve it. I hope you can focus on Jesus and just pray her into his hands and acknowledge her often in little bites if you wish, but God has a plan for you and it is greater than pain all the time. I hope you can smile today for the blessings you do have...HUGS....Judy
