[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 709136, member: 1550"] Mamacat, stay strong. I am so sorry for your pain. We are all in your corner. You are not alone. I have two grands I never met by my son who walked away. I think it is almost better that I never saw them. [SIZE=16px] In sons case, his wife has much to do with this estrangement, but he was a big boy...around 27. It was his decision to follow her lead. He is now going to be 40 and silence all this time. He has money galore so he doesnt need anything frim us. I think the ones who have money and walk away are less likely to ever come back. They dont need anything from us. Any letters, gifts, etc i sent to try to mend whatever I did (I was never given a reason) were met with silence. So I know how you feel. Took two years of intense therapy to be able to put one foot in front of the other and smile again with a full heart saved me from giving up. I realized i was being selfish, that others loved snd needed me to enjoy life again...that Son is not my whole life. Nobody else is our life. I had a private ceremony to let him go. Candle and all.[/SIZE] I did actually recover thanks to my dear husband and other children. Do lean on other family and friends eho live you. My life is great. Yours can be too. You just have to allow yourself happiness!! [/QUOTE]
