Although it is slow, my mom is recovering after being in jail & now is hospitalized. She is slow & scattered & will never be the mom I held so dearly. I am grateful though that she is in a safe place. I finally talked to her after a month. I couldn't bring myself to talk to her because the pain is still raw. She literally said that my dad wanted a boy as his second child. I know that my dad was never disappointed that way. Just another hurtful and thing from a sick mind.
Now I face my own issues & have come to the point where I can see where I eid the right things in the right way I saw fit.
I hope I can continually forgive myself for the past & move forward.
Thanks for following my stoy
(((Kathleen))) - love that you are seeing the good - she's in a safe place. Your post made me think of the three A(s) and how you are leaning into your program. I too am sending you tons of prayers and positive thoughts (mom too). Keep coming back - you are not alone!
