- Be the hero, not the victim of your own life....one of the talking heads attributed this quote to the late Nora Ephron. I googled it and found it attributed to a lot of people but it has made me think. I have TRIED to be the hero of my life and not...
- Hello All,After nearly dying of complications from surgery, my husband is home now and improving. We had some great news. Instead of one of the three terminal illnesses they have named as diagnoses over the past year, the doctors have determined...
- It is past time to give up hope, but I am still finding it hard to do. It has been nearly four years since our older daughter cut us off with no explanation. And it's been a hell of a roller coaster ride lately. I have shared that my husband was...
- Emotions a total jumble. Thought I'd let you know--husband terminally ill. He turned 55 the other day. Anytime to 5 years. He obviously has not absorbed it and I'm having a lot of difficulty with it all.
- Today I sorted through the bookshelves and it left me in tears. I'm a librarian and over the years, I've had a number of books signed by authors "To baby, from Grandma" in the hopes I'd someday have grandchildren to give them to. With the situation...
- I haven't been around for awhile. My husband's health is finally beginning to improve. I believe that stress has been a huge factor. You may recall we are 'sandwich estranged'--his parents and family 'dumped' us years ago--nearest we can figure is...
- Husband is home from hospital and on oxygen. He is (most thankfully) improving daily and at this point, the doctors decided to forgo a biopsy unless he starts going downhill again. Younger daughter contacted sister (she calls and ED sees number...
- I've been through infertility, the death of one child, childhood cancer of another (ED), we've moved lots because my husband was in the automotive industry and his parents and family estranged themselves from us years ago over stupid shit. Still...
- I know Labor Day isn't much of a holiday, but I'm still hearing my friends plan to go to the beach with their children and grands, etc. Both daughters just had birthdays and my birthday is in a few days--won't hear from ED at all and younger...

- What I hate the most about this estrangement is that it colors all other relationships. My younger daughter, who talks to her sister and to us, lies to us regularly about contact with her sister. I pay her phone bill. I know she lies to us. I...
- My parents married young and divorced. Money was always tight. Mom worked and we were shuttled around to sitters and neighbors until old enough to fend for ourselves. I always thought it would be so great to have a mom at home when I got there, who...
- Twenty-nine years ago today, our first child was born. And died. My arms ached for so long..until I had another beautiful daughter. The daughter who has refused all our attempts to contact her and not spoken to us for over 2 years. I never thought...
