- Seriously, you just can winhttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2098472/Why-happy-childhood-make-unhappy-adult.html And I guess it did not occur to her that perhaps it was her own personality and the reality we all face, one of facing...
- She said something my Ed didn't like. I am friends with a woman who was also friends with my Ed for many years but we managed to keep our relationship neutral regarding my Ed, and it worked for 2 years since my Ed estranged us.That is until this...

- The BAD: I had a horrible horrible day yesterday trying to come to terms with a mother and daughter who just don't care, and why do I love them, they deserve NO place in my heart. I wouldn't wish my worst enemy have them as family. Had a total pity...
- I suppose I didn't expect any but it still shocks me that my ed knows I have cancer and just doesn't care. Not said an unkind word to this girl, never spanked her, always supported her and I it hurts, but more than anything I am horrified I gave...
- I got bad news and have been diagnosed with Breast Cancer . They haven't determined what type or how bad or what course of treatment yet (need to see the surgeon). As with everything in our lives estrangement rears its ugly head one way or another...
- Mine seem to be very few and far between nowadays, but I am not immune to getting sideswiped and they happen in the least expected ways. In the early years I had to work with intention , as New Joy stated in another thread, and it has paved the way...
