I'm so sorry you had a very sad mother's day. I don't know what it is about divorce situations that always seems to bring out hurtful behavior. You had the strength to raise them yourself. That takes a very strong, unselfish person.
My mother went through a horrible marriage, divorce, and then was remarried in under a year to a man who was not to welcoming to me (and still is not after knowing me for decades now). They had a child right away, and when she comes home from another state for a holiday, I am not invited because she wants "alone time" w the parents.
I wish my mother would have had the strength to stand on her own like you did. I am so sorry your daughters do not seem to recognize the strength and courage it took to take that route. Hopefully, someone will come across their path and tell them how hard and unselfish the path you chose really was. |
