Guest guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 My daughter has her first real boyfriend and she was quite anxious to bring him home last weekend. Her biggest worry was my nada didn't find out about him. Nada and fada live down the street from us. So part of the weekend was spent making sure the arrival and stay of this young man was kept very quiet. If nada would have know, the intense questions would have started and the judgements would have been expressed. It can just become so crazy and painful. The young man was so very nice and he even bought flowers to the house. Tonight I thought about the loss we all with this kind of parent. I couldn't share my daughter's new friend with my mother. I couldn't share the joy I saw with my daughter or even the gift of flowers he bought. Normal sharings between a mother and daughter. Whether we are in N/C or not with a BP parent something has died in that relationship and it is loss in every sense of the word. We have such little choice in all this and these boundaries keep the BP's in our life in from hurting us. Many blessings, Malinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
