(((Dear One)):

Your own grandmother hurt you terribly/horrifically. You are NOT NOT NOT her! Children are NOT responsible for adult feelings - I know you know that in your heart, even though your Grandma (and the Mom who didn't believe you) tried to make you responsible for hers.

Autumn is also not responsible for what your daughter has done. Autumn may feel like your enemy, but she isn't. Her responses and then lies to her parents DID hurt you very much = cause you much pain, but, (and there has to be a but here), YOU are the adult in the situation; she is the child. Someone should've been there to be YOUR hero when you were young. Please consider putting your feelings aside, dig into that 'generosity of Spirit that I KNOW dwells in you[!!], and be hers!!

All 'wrongs' don't have to be righted, they really don't, and certainly not at the expense of a seven year old child. I believe that that pure love for Autumn's true little Spirit IS still in you = under the pain; under the hurt.

Your friend,

J.
