Hi Ginnie:

I have not seen my son in ten years. We have absolutely zero relationship. It is what it is. I am also sorry that you are going through something similar. I have never been able to reason with him in 10 years and there is no possibility of that happening now either. I can't even say with any assurance that he definitely had this operation on Feb 6th.

So I do thank all of you for the responses. It's just very sad that a mom can't be a mom when she is needed to be a mom. But I can't change circumstances. Only he can and he never will.

Thank you very very much and I hope (at your end) you are finding peace.

I am sorry we walk the same shoes. There is no hope on my end eithor., regarding my daughter. I also have a grandson I am not allowed to see or know. I didn't even know my daughter was pregnant. Her husband made the decision for her. she was special education, and he took advange of a family trust, and then removed her from my life. Once you are a mother, I don't think you can stop loving, even though a situation is bad, but rather I accept it, and pray all the time for her. I hope you still keep your son in your prayers too. I think part of the reason I got so sick was over this issue, so I had to let it go, and get to a better place in my own life. so glad I found NT and the comfort I know here. I have received so much compassion. I do hope we will keep in touch melody, it takes another mother to know what this situation feels like when a child goes astray. I will keep your son and you both in my prayers too. Take care of yourself melody, you have a friend right here. ginnie

Know something, I LIKE YOU!!!

Thanks much Ginnie.

You (and your daughter) will be in my prayers tonight.

Take care

Melody
