- One of my beloved poodles is probably in his last days here on Earth. Well, I KNOW he is. First a little background on me. I have always had poodles. From the time I was 8, my parents got one. He lived until I left the house and got married and...
- I think the anticipation of this day is worse than the actual day. It will be over soon, and then maybe we can focus on something else. I couldn't go to church today even if I wanted to. Here in Texas there is torrential flooding, and lighting...
- I have been off this site for a couple of weeks because my husband took me on a dream trip to Ireland, and while I was there, my oldest son and his wife had their second baby, which happens to be our 5th grandchild! So of course we were so excited...
- What do you do about extended family gatherings, such as weddings? What I mean is, when some of the distant family, who doesn't really understand the estrangement has a wedding, they always invite ES and DIL. Or Thanksgiving, or Fourth of July. ...
- So this upcoming Saturday we are/were planning on going up to see the new grand baby in another state. My son, who has not responded to a single text of mine in over a year, FINALLY responded to me on Friday night. I sent a text which read, "We...
- We are still planning on going up to see the new grand baby on April 4, and I am almost having anxiety attacks over it. My stomach is tied up in knots and I wake up in cold sweats. And please understand, I want to be honest here, it is not from...
- I come from a long line of enablers. I was brought up to always "make nice" and never ruffle any waters. I know that is why my family (I am talking about my mother, siblings, etc) doesn't understand this estrangement. Because if one of their...
- Well as many of you remember, my ES and his mentally deranged wife had their second baby in January. My son will not even return any of my texts, but had sent one or two to my husband and oldest son. My DIL had sent me several, though. I told her...
- I haven't posted a new topic in a while, but I have been checking in and reading everyone's posts. I really haven't known what to say. Sadly, nothing has improved in me and my ES's situation. As you may remember, this is the son who asked us for...
- So as many of you know, my ES and my daughter in law had their second baby one week ago. My son has not spoken to me once, but he has sent a couple of VERY short messages to my older son and my DH, as well as one picture. I have sent multiple...
- So my oldest son told me that my ES texted him last night to tell him they are inducing my DIL and that baby will be born today. Earlier this fall my oldest son had told my ES that he needed to swallow his pride and stop this stupid estrangement,...
- Today at the grocery store I ran into my ES's best childhood friend and his wife. I hadn't seen them in months, and we passed the odd talk, and they asked if we had spoken to ES lately, and I said no, and neither had they. And then his best friend...
- Once again, this topic may have been discussed already, but I am fairly new, so bear with me. As I have been reading the stories, it would appear that many of us raised our children in church. Did any of your EC make professions of faith when they...
- Until last night. I have had the best attitude all Christmas, and had really been feeling a peace and acceptance that can only come from the Lord. Well last night my DH and I went to dinner with a group of our really good friends (all of them go...
- As I have indicated, I feel the Lord is leading to me a season of acceptance. I do feel a peace and a calm that I haven't felt since this whole thing started six years ago. I talked to my almost 90 year old mom last night about how my Christmas...
