This time of year brings a mixture of happiness and such joy.
My mother lives about 15 minutes away from me yet I havent seen her in years.She was very verbally abusive to me as a kid and even as an adult I was hoping she would be different as a grandmother but she never really showed any interest in my kids.I finally ended it after years of begging her to call the kids once a month or come to their games she just never did and I hated seeing them disappointed.Ending it made me feel like I had some control over what happens which made me feel better but still when im out and see mothers and daughters out to lunch or grandmothers cheering their grandsons on at baseball games I feel that twinge in my heart and feel like I am the only one in his kind of situation.Anyone else in my boat?
