Dear Lion, don't forget our motto:
Living well is the best revenge.

If I may so bold I'd like to put my $.02 in here. I would agree that forgiveness is important, but I would also put in that forgiving does not mean that you open yourself up to be hurt again. Forgiveness does not say that the person that hurt you was right (and as we know she was not), but that God is just and He will do what is right.
I would suggest to forgive (and I would be more than glad to pray for you in that regard 'cause I know that ain't easy). But I wouldn't suggest that you open your house to a woman that voluntarily severed any relationship regardless of the reason.

Phew. Thank goodness.  I, on the other-hand, have been a bit sensitive lately. Stupid stuff triggering my stupid sensitivity meter. So I worry about being insensitive when I'm feeling sensitive. *sigh*
I've had more people wish me happy mother's day today than I remember ever before. I'm taking it as a compliment. Afterall, I fought like a mother to remove a child from an abusive environment and won. So I am kinda like a mom.
(((((Mac)))))
The world needs more BugLadys to fight for kids.

Dear Kerr, I did think of that today. And I was also thinking about how I really have no complaints. God is far, FAR better to me than I deserve, certainly, but also better than I have any reason to expect.
It just stings a bit when one of the cubs gets hurt. 
BUT, the 3 of us had dinner together and they got everything off their chests and are now both on to the next thing. No permanent damage.

God love ya, what a position to be in. I agree with James, even though it disturbs your aunt, forgiving (which I know you've done) doesn't mean opening yourself up to the same old junk. Sometimes becoming "functional" means removing yourself from the "dys", ya know?
Did you start a thread? I have an opinion or three on the subject.

Thanks for the hug Christi! I really needed that. Today has been an emotional roller coaster for me.

Well, today has been cathartic to say the least. And to top it off, we watched Forrest Gump tonight which always has me crying my fool head off at the end (and sometimes in the middle), I am worn slap out. Thankfully, today is now over and I'm going to hit the hay.
God bless you all and keep you my Beloved Friends. I don't know what I'd do without you.

Not only was today Mother's Day, a holiday when I miss my Grandma. Plus a day where I hate being single and child-less because when somebody wishes me "Happy Mother's Day" it breaks my heart and feels as if they are mocking me. Anywho, today was the anniversary of my Grandpa's death.
Plus it was confirmation day at church. Lots and lots of emotions.

The Other Angel 
I'm just so sorry about that. I feel for her. She should have at least 2 (maybe 3) adults that she can count on, but I see that's not the case. I thank God that she does have her rock...her mom. 
...her name is Brenda...my aunt whom I love dearly and who is one of the few saints alive today (in my mind anyway) sent me a letter that arrived yesterday. I opened it and read just enough of it to get the gist of it and put it back in the envelope. I refused to let it ruin my Mother's Day (I don't think she meant to time it that way). She's so desperate for Brenda and me to reconcile because she just loves her sister and me so much, and when Brenda severed our relationship (which was a farce anyway) a year and a half ago, it really put my aunt in a funk.
