Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Thanks Doug for your heartfelt words of wisdom. I am so sorry for all the losses in your life and in the lives of all of us who were raised by Nadas. I frequently am surprised to remember my 8-yr-old son does not know my Nada at all because we have not had contact since he was about 1. She is such a huge, looming presence in my head that it is strange to remember he has no memory of her at all. My older child has some memories of her because he saw her last when he was 5-ish. After all the horrible things she has done to me and all the awful emotions the woman has made me feel, I still have to stop myself from feeling bad that I am " cheating her " out of seeing her grandchildren grow up. Can you believe that? Do you see how I still to this day word that -- I am cheating her/ her grandchildren ... It's sick, but it is what it is. I worry about her death and how I will react and the guilt I will feel that I had to finally chose myself and my kids over her and move far away from the insanity that is a Nada.Thank you for giving me some words to fall back on when the time comes.
