[QUOTE="Chasejazz, post: 751857, member: 24130"] Great posts! So, I'll have you know I've completely stopped reading 'Ask Amy' because her advice column is trash. Anyway, I told some of you that I had joined a ceramics class a couple of months back (after all this started w my son moving out). That, and also that my Mom has become gravely ill, which has been pretty tough. Well, the other day I finally finished my first piece of art in ceramics class. I was so proud of myself you'd have thought I re-painted the Sistine Chapel! A) because I joined something, and stuck with it all summer. And B) because I'm doing something for the first time in I-don't-know-how- long that's just for [I]myself [/I]! That's huge for me! On the other note, I do talk to my Dad on the phone regularly. They live cross country, and things don't look good for my Mom. My heart's broken because I'm bracing for the fact that I might lose her soon. She really, really wanted to see me and my kids heal and reconcile, etc. I know the whole situation hurt her badly, but I don't think she and Dad fully understand what happened in regard to my kids and why we're estranged. They never had those kind of issues with me or my sisters. Anyways, my Dad was happy that I've gotten involved in something and that I'm getting out more and making some friends... (I try to stay w upbeat stuff when I talk to him bc he'sup in age and has so much going on, as you can imagine).. Also, I finally got my old car back up and running, (thanks to my Ex). Yeah! This isn't a big share, but it's forward progress by any means, and that works for me. I miss my kids. I love really them. I have not heard anything from my son, I have to assume he is okay, safe... but it's really time to move on, little by little. Small steps. ♡ ((Hugz2all)).
