Then she wonders why I never tell her anything. I am really close to my immediate family...hubbby and kids....and she doesn't get why she's not close to us. If we ever cross her, we hear about it FOREVER. One good thing that has come out of this is I am really close to my kids and I don't judge them and they can tell me anything. I don't have a lot of close friends but the one close friend I have gets me and is excited or sad with me. And I also feel like I have friends here on YT. I guess what I'm trying to say is we are here for you. Patty |
That's really got to hurt when it's coming from the very person who is supposed to be there for no matter what....especially when they 10 years & they just won't let it go....It's hard to hug a porcupine....That's all I have in my life at this point is the immediate family, DH & kids, I'm in my safe little word at home.lol
I talk to my Daughter EVERYDAY, sometimes several times a day she has three kids & one on the way, when she tells me things I try to advise & listen as if she where my friend, I don't fly off the handle , but boy oh boy, sometimes if she heard what was in my head.lol
