Know that here you are special and we appreciate you.
Those rude people are my only daughter & son in law who have told me that I'm not good enough. I was good enough to be there to help with the birth of my only granddaughter. I took care of the midwifery team and was an active labor coach for her so her husband could take breaks. I was their postpartum doula so son in law could return to work since he did not have any family leave. I changed my schedule to stay longer bc they got their schedules confused. Now that I have been unemployed after losing my career 5 yrs ago with the economic downturn, it's been very very hard to get back on my feet. Finances are not what they once were...and they ask "what's in it for them?"
My heart is breaking that I have not seen my granddaughter in over a year.
