Try to see or talk to my daughter and get silence or texts like this:
Miss u too. I'm really busy for the next couple weeks, maybe after that or something we could do something. Love u *hugs*
‘or something’ never happens.

5 What say you to that?:
Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to share a few words!

Don't give up.
ReplyDeleteAnd I like your new profile picture, Bru.
Yep, that sounds about right unfortunately. Life gets in the way. I hope that things get better.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had something encouraging to say about this, but I just don't. I'm sorry :(
ReplyDeleteWell, mine's only 6 but I get the same thing because she's always with her dad now.
ReplyDeleteYou can only love them enough to let them go. It hurts like hell, but someday they'll realize just what they've missed. YOU.
Thanks Alex- for the kind words about the picture *blush* and the encouragement. I'm trying not to give up...it's just hard in that last time I did see her, we ran into some of her church friends at the mall (talk about bad timing) and not only did she ignore me while she talked to them (and I understand this is normal teen behavior to an extent but not in the context of shunning- this was deliberate) and she wouldn't hug me but she hugged all her friends' moms right in front of me (moms who wouldn't even look at me once to acknowledge me- they completely ignored me after she shrugged and said "that's my mom" because they know they're not supposed to even say a 'greeting to' me as per their interpretation of scripture.
ReplyDeleteit's tough. one day at a time...
Angela, thanks! I know she's busy...if it was just that it'd be easier to take I think. Thanks for hoping it gets better, I can't help hoping too.
Andrew...thank you so much- just what you said means so much. We've talked about this before and I know you understand what I'm up against. so just knowing you read means the world. Thank you. *hugs*
Anne: *hugs* wish I knew what to say, but I don't. I remember the back and forth thing when mine was small (we started shared custody when she was two) it never gets easier. I hope you get to spend some meaningful time with her soon.
(hope this makes sense folks- so tired- saw new doc, med adjustment, all that nonsense. Thanks agin for reading/commenting.)
xoxo
