(((((tryingtobe))))))) I know how hard it is to let go of those people who are supposed to be family and are supposed to love you. My son was born 10 years ago, but my family NEVER came to see him. Then they have the nerve to complain that they didn't get to even meet him until he was 2 years old. Still, it's taken me 20 years to cut them out of my life and stop letting them hurt me.

Please don't blame yourself!!!! This is their garbage...don't let it poison you. You are a very generous and lovable person. You've been so kind to so many of us here. Let our kindness soothe your soul as well.
