Guest guest Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 I think lots of times that family has so much to do with situations such as this. It certainly isn't any reflection on you, it is that the holiday season is so tied up to emotions that it becomes physically impossible to do some things. And the pressure from family does mean a great deal at this time. And I suppose it could keep on being the opposition, as some families just can't give up the idea of their parents dating or remarrying. I'm sorry that it had to ruin your holidays, as I know you were looking forward to the whole shebang. I just hope you get a fresh start with a wonderful new year ahead and have lots of happiness.

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 Thanks, I am ok. Yes, it is hard at any age when there are families involved. But an old friend asked me to marry him last year and his family all loved me and even tho we decided not to marry and remain good friends, the family writes to me, sends gifts. I feel sorry for him that he will let a stepdaughter control his life, but I'm glad I didn't go with him for any longer than a month and find out, haha! Anyway, we all need to remember where our eyes are. in the front of our face, so we know which way to focus!

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Yeah, as a teen I couldn't stand my mother dating. Maybe it had something to do with them all being profound losers. <g> Debi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Reminds me of some sage advice I once overheard: " Honey, whenever a man tells you that he isn't good enough for you, you should believe him. " In Tucson Kitty's case, the man's actions demonstrate clearly that he isn't good enough. JS wrote: > When people show you who they are, it is best to believe them. > -- J.P.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Hi Kitty, I gave up my stepson over a year ago for the man I am about to marry. I raised my stepson and we were very close. He felt like my own biological son. However, he could not see me happy with another man besides his father. He did not want to hear about it nor be in the same room as . I was not about to jeopardize my happiness. So, when my stepson said I had to make a choice, I chose . My stepson and I have not spoken or seen each other in over a year. While I miss him dearly, I do not regret my decision. We cannot let our children run our lives. My stepdaughter is a dear. She supports my relationship with and is extremely happy about our upcoming marriage. She called on Christmas Day and told that he was getting the best and that he better take good care of me, or else! She thanked me for putting up with her father and taking care of him for so many years. She thanks me all the time. I know that my stepson felt like the " man of the house " when his father died. And, he felt like he lost it when I became involved in another relationship. While I can understand his feelings, it still did not give him the right to force me to make a choice. I'm sorry your man decided to let his stepdaughter make life decisions for him. Honestly, that's no man I would want to consider as a companion for the rest of my life. You are a wonderful lady. Your prince will come! Just give it time. A married lady in less than 7 weeks, Rhonda Y. And I suppose it could keep on being the opposition, as some > families > just can't give up the idea of their parents dating or remarrying.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Kitty, You quite an inspiration! My mom was widowed Jan. 1, 2000 and I've told her on several occasions if she meets some kind gent and she's happy, she has my blessing. More parents should tell their kids to butt out instead of letting them run their lives. Whoever you end up with will be one blessed man indeed! Enjoy your dancing lessons! Peg in BC -- Re: Re: From Tucson Kitty Rhonda and all the others who have been so supportive, First, a big hug and so many Thanks, thanks, thanks. I was divorced, amicably, at 50. At 53 I met paul, we married, and my oldest daughter had a fit. That was January 3, 2000. I have only seen her once since, and she has my 2 grandsons, and I haven't seen them, either. I miss them all and love them dearly, but even after died Dec 13, 2003, I still knew i would make the sme choice. A hard one, but our children, especially grown children, do not have the right to make our choices for us, anymore than we can choose the partners for them. Life is short and we need to enjoy each day, and if we are lucky enough to find someone to share a life with, we should go for it! His loss, as i am a great woman, and some lucky man out there is going to get a woman who will make him feel like a king. Tucson Kitty, who took a dancing lesson today and has another one tomorrow!
