My daughter, age 35, has not communicated with me since I went IP in November of 2018. Prior to that we were extremely close. We saw each other several times/week. The entire situation is heartbreaking to me. I believe her husband is encouraging her to stay away from me. It was an argument with him that precipitated my IP stay.
My son is 32 and I communicate with him almost every day. I was seeing him and my dear DIL about 4 times per year (they live in San Francisco now, but were living in Paris previously). Because of stupid covid, we hadn't seen each other for a year - until 2 weeks ago. We finally decided to meet with masks on and we had a fabulous afternoon together.
Do you dream in color?
