So To all of our PWWA members, Mothers' Day rear's it's ugly head once more. I cannot believe that it is 9 years to the day that our beautiful daughter Kris passed away and that it is almost 6 years ago to the day when we severed the relationship with my husband's other two biological children. It is a decision that we have never regretted.
I have noticed that since this group stopped using Daily Strength, there has really been a lot less down-hearted lamenting on this site. Which means to me that in some small way, we have grown - we've come into our own - and we are moving forward.
Today I found this link on facebook. I read it, and I thought of all of us. I hope you read it too - and find it as inspirational as I have. Just cut and paste it into your URL.
johnpavlovitz.com/2015/05/09/for-those-who-hurt-on-mothers-day/
Enjoy your mother's day for whatever it turns out to be. - whether it's a day that celebrates us as the mothers we have been, or as just the good people we continue to be. Enjoy
T.K.

Your husband had the right idea, Gloria - Sorry you lost him. Yep - dump those who would want to hurt or control you and keep moving onward and upward!
Take Care, T.K.

Thank you TK
It would take all year if I was to sit down and tell my story ..I just know I put my home on the market gave away every possession I owned to shelters and plan to move away from my daughters out of state like 10 states between us and even that I feel not enough space No Joke.. no forwarding addresses..There comes a point when you just want to yell Just grow up dammit Grow Up!! and No I am not an angry person and that is truth.. I'm just tired the same mess they did as teens continues into their adulthood at what point when is it enough ...Gloria's pinnacle hit in January when I lost my gr8t granddaughter to spina bifida it broke my heart.. my daughter the grandmother and the other grandmother went to the funeral home, after all the arrangements had been completed and price was revealed ..I requested if I could assist both grandmothers in the bill 3 ways each one of us would pay 1300 dollars I volunteered to pick up charges for obituary in paper.. Mind the hospital gave my daughter 750.00 as a gift to help before we even left hospital ....My daughter soon started a go fund me account which I disapproved of and soon after started telling all my family members and my closest friends that she needed to raise 10,000 because I refused to help or contribute .. That was my breaking point have not spoken to her since I'm made a choice to not ever look back...and don't plan to, serious changes better happen before I look back... I am going to start with baby steps and everyday congratulate myself for each new step milestones..I am going to enter the world and just as me and Never again walk on egg shells, never again to explain or justify my daughters behavior.. I cannot explain how liberating it feels to say I'm just going to be me! To remove the weapon from her hands my grandchildren.. I had to bid my fair well to each of my grandchildren who were well train on how to be mean to granny I think that was the hardest part to admit too but now I own it... it was my life but not no more ....I'm supposed to close on my house on the 30th of this month I don't think they realize my wings are flapping I'm about to fly
