ORIGINAL: fluffypet61 i hate that yesterday came and went without word from one of my daughters who cut off communication with family and friends 6 years ago. Yesterday was her 33rd birthday. i raised two of her children for a couple of years until their father could take care of them. i pray that she is well. My dear fluffy, I've been that girl. The daughter who cut off communication from my family for years. I know it deeply hurt my mom and a couple of my sisters. But for me, I had to. I had to get completely away in order to deal with some very serious issues. I always knew who my bio family was even though I was adopted. I just had to step away and get into a setting with fewer variables in order to figure things out. A few years ago my father had surgery. I decided to go out to be with the family, never pressing, never expecting... just be available if they wanted me around. It was the most incredible experience! Since then, I've slowly taken my family back into my life, and found I can see them much more clearly than I did when I was involved with them. I'm grateful for the time I had away... It was a blessing - difficult, but a blessing nonetheless. When I first saw my mom again after all that time, she put a card down in front of me. It was a birthday card she'd sent me just as I cut them off. It was returned to her, and she'd kept it all those years. I can't tell you how much her unconditional love during my years away meant to me. So, from one prodigal daughter, thank you for your love dear fluffy. She may not know it right now, but it is a blessing. sunshine Awesome Sunny...good to hear a happy ending... currently a friend of mine has a same issue as her daughter broke up the contact to her and she is missing her and her granddaughter where her daughter refuses her to let her see...she is in a very good relationship with her son but with him being in the army she is very anxious to lose him, not just because he is in the army but also because she feels that she would have nobody left if he would not survive due to the relationship with her daughter being so bad. I really hope that she never ever gets bad news regarding him, as far too many family receive sometimes...and that at some point maybe her daughter finds her way back to her or at least accepts to tolerate her mum to see her granddaughter.
