You have very recently lost your best friend from childhood and got caught up in the struggle of her children as they sort through their grief and resentments. These things take their toll on even the strongest of us and sometimes it is when we sleep that we allow ourselves to cry, and in this case most probably grieve.<BR/><BR/>To say that you have never achieved anything is wrong, you have successfully raised 2 children with high moral standards and ethics and while one of them is struggling with his own demons you can not and should not take too much blame on yourself. All of us as parents do what we think is right. <BR/><BR/>Above all you have been a wonderful daughter to both your adoptive parents and your birth mother. You have always been the best Mum to me and Grandmother to my children. And while there have been times when you may have said things that I may have struggled with I would never ask for another mother as I doubt there is one out there who would have stood by me as you have. I am ever grateful for your support and that you have helped mold me into the woman I am today.<BR/><BR/>Please be kind to yourself, and maybe it is time to talk to someone like you did a few years ago. As while I love you dearly I am your daughter and my advice maybe wrong for you. xxxKakkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16376864098492915312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-922585999776797616.post-74864688777538317582009-03-08T12:03:00.000+09:002009-03-08T12:03:00.000+09:00You know this is a bit weird and perhaps I need to...You know this is a bit weird and perhaps I need to see your Simon too. At 3.30am this morning I woke up crying (never done that before except perhaps when I was a baby). It is now two months since my second hip op but I was not in pain....just felt unbelievably miserable. Had a feeling of worthlessness...of a life that has not been of much use to anyone!! With a son who has not spoken to me for over 7 years...what sort of mother does that make me? Two of his children are now grown up and I've not seen them for over 7 years so I missed all their teen years. I lost my best friend last month; so many of my friends have left this mortal coil but I go on without feeling I achieve much at all. Maybe some of my inner bits are out of sync and need adjusting?? I am of little use to anyone these days and fail to see the light at the end of the tunnel....if I do see a light perhaps it will just be a train coming the other way. Oh, hell. This is not a good feeling at all.<BR/>Regarding the other matter, I had a grown middle-aged man expose himself to me when I was 12 and I didn't tell my mum and dad because we knew the family well and I felt sorry for his lovely wife and his daughter who was my friend. I have often wondered if I did the right thing but at least I didn't have to go through the same trauma that you did. I only hope that horrible man didn't molest anyone else. <BR/>I am not sure anyone should be bothered with any of the above but maybe I will feel better having written it but not sure that will be the case either.<BR/>I am glad though that you are able to feel better about yourself ... keep up the good work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
