[QUOTE="louise2350, post: 752916, member: 24632"] Yes, it takes a lot out of one to rehash the what ifs, the reasons behind this and that, so I'll just say like Busy, my middle daughter was given much more attention than the other two. As I mentioned before, the other two would ask me at times why all of my focus was on the middle child. Now, these other two aren't the type to hold grudges so they do see this middle daughter even though for unknown reasons she doesn't have anything to do with me. But, that's their decision. Like someone said here, they'd wonder too why the two others aren't sticking up for me and saying anything to the disconnected daughter. You can't just brush that aside in your mind - it's only natural to wonder why. But, God has guided me on not saying anything to the other two over this and I'm thankful I didn't. I know the two others love me and are in a difficult situation. They know the middle daughter has troubles and always has. So, with that, I will just try to let everything go, but at times it's hard. My disconnected daughter went and told my niece online that she isn't in my life anymore. When my niece relayed this to me over the phone, I broke down and cried. I couldn't believe my daughter would actually reveal that to someone she's only seen a few times in her life . My niece didn't ask her why but just said something like she knows mothers and daughters have fights now and then, etc. So, that conversation with my niece opened me up again for hurt. I just told my niece a little about it and then told her I really didn't want to talk about it. I do have a certain amount of peace in my life and I do love seeing my other grandchildren and my other two daughters. I'm not dwelling so much on all of this anymore. [/QUOTE]
