Guest guest Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for your replies and words of wisdom. For sharing with me from your hearts. I have taken action and I am doing what what suggested. I am going to forget about my daughter for now which I have to do and take care of myself. She was due with her first child on Oct. 7th. I think she had her baby but there is no way I can find out. I tried calling the hospital and had no luck. I am " letting go & letting God " when it comes to my one and only Anita. For now anyway. Thank you Kathe! Also Joyce, I am sorry for the very hard grief you went through. Lord have mercy! Time is a great healer, you wrote. I believe you. I couldn't see that but after reading your post, I believe it with all my heart. I will get through this very difficult time in my life. Living alone and not knowing anyone in this area is hard. In Alaska, I at least had a personal care attendent everyday. Better Dr. care also. I am going to heed your suggestions and I thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers. I have began to write and I made a call and I am going to take action and think positive and find a 12 step support group to attend in the area so I won't be isolating. I used to go to al-anon over 20 years ago. Plus do aquatic exercises to help with my knee pain and all. I a going to get through this. It will not be easy but I can do it with God's help. Thank you for sharing your beliefs about God. It really helped me. I would like to ask if anyone has been rejected by a loved one and especially if you are back in touch. If the relationship was healed and how long it took. Maybe I shouldn't ask. IF you do want to please send it directly to my address if you want. God bless you all so very very much! I'm so happy I didn't chop my hair. I'd really feel terrible had I done that. HEIDI & JULIEN I am so happy for you. You are truly blest and I pray to God you are one of the lucky ones that will remain in remission for the rest of your life and my prayer is that a cure will be found for the rest of us. Kids are truly a gift from above. I loved having my son and grandsons here but they had to go back with mom and I miss them terribly. I am going to believe that God has something wonderful planned for me and just have faith and keep doing my best each day to ask him for wisdom and for guidance. Wisdom and strength for each and everyone of you, also. Goodnight. With much love, always, Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Dear Marie, I'm so glad you are feeling better and taking positive steps. I really know how hard it is when your only child rejects you. We have a daughter who is 27, and she moved out of our house when she was 18 to live with her boyfriend. He turned abusive, she moved home. Two months later, she moved from Illinois to Indiana to live with a man she met on line. He seemed really nice, and they were married, had 4 children (a little boy, and 3 years later triplets.) In December 2003, she announced that she was getting a divorce, that her husband had become increasingly abusive. I wasn't surprised, as she had been less and less involved with us as a family, and we had moved here to Indiana to be near her. But in an abusive relationship, the woman rarely is honest with herself let alone family about what's going on. I'm not saying that is what's happening with your daughter, only my daughter's experience. She remarried a year and a half ago, and the change is astounding. She sometimes slips back into old habits, but for the most part she is very loving and concerned. It hurt for a long time to be rejected by her, but Ron and I decided we had our own lives to live, and we didn't have time to try to live them around her problems. We have been supportive, but not " in her face. " When I was going through a number of surgeries in the last 2 years, I never even saw her afterward. Now I am having surgery tomorrow, and she told us last night (when we were out at her house) that she is coming in Saturday to clean house for us! She has began to explore her own feelings, and as we have always found it easier to communicate our thoughts in writing, we email every day. So don't give up on Anita, just give her over to God, Who will always take care of both of you. Live your life for Marie now! Judi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
