Thank you Heels. I needed to hear this on this Thanksgiving day.
I havn't spent Thanksgiving with my daughter for 5 years. She makes promises to show up, I make plans and preparation for a nice family dinner and she calls and starts her verbal abuse, just to get me upset. She then uses that as an excuse not to come to dinner.
I am no longer hurt with these actions of her's. It has turned to anger.
Today I will enjoy Thanksgiving without her. My grandson and his girlfriend will be here and I look forward to sharing the day with them as well as my husband.
I have stopped trying to figure out why my daughter cannot celebrate just 1 holiday with me. I have stoped blaming myself but I do have to admit, I will still miss her at the dinner table.
