Good for you for sticking to your boundaries and creating safety for you.<BR/><BR/>If "grandma" doesn't believe you then she commits secondary wounding. Not ok, at all. <BR/><BR/>Keep the faith. You are doing what's hard, at least for now. It will get easier. You know that saying that Jesus said love everyone? I find that some people are easier to love when I don't have anything to do with them. This is because they hurt me or those I love. I am not for hurting. Misty, You are not for hurting. You are for loving.Klinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16814431399124793880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068737629915702103.post-10507627360254608502008-05-14T04:39:00.000-07:002008-05-14T04:39:00.000-07:00Stay strong Misty!I think your silence was best. ...Stay strong Misty!<BR/>I think your silence was best. <BR/><BR/>Yes, I said MAINE in my last post.

I'm amazed by your wonderful children you have raised and I know they know you love them...what more can you ask for? You broke the cycle baby! They will never havae to go through the pain and suffering you did! That speaks for itself right there! I agree...why should they share in the joy of your children, when they were less than willing to give you a proper childhood? Just my opinion!Thompson familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04368513693201483823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068737629915702103.post-62210338973877707642008-05-13T21:33:00.000-07:002008-05-13T21:33:00.000-07:00I just don't know it if could ever be good, right,...I just don't know it if could ever be good, right, with her.

Eck. She's not a mother in any form. <BR/><BR/>As for Paula's Mom. I dunno. I might have just typed your last paragraph there to her. Something to show her that you know *she* may not be intentionally cruel but her lack of action has hurt you. Not believing you is ignorant. <BR/><BR/>Better that you handled it with silence on second thought.

Unbelievable. <BR/>I'm sure you know this, but 'family' is such an everchanging word. You can have dear friends who are family to you. I am so sorry you weren't able to have a biological family that cared for you the right way.
