Thanks, everybody! Looking back now, I guess I kind of knew all along that somehow this visit wasn't going to happen. She made such a show out of wanting to be there for me after the baby was born and it meant a lot to me because our parents are both passed on, but I just felt suspicious all along. I spent a lot of time in therapy talking about how I felt like she was just setting me up for a fall! It was hard to even play along like I believed she would really come. Sometimes I think I'd be happier with no contact, but then I think ack, why bother, it would just be a lot of drama.
And thanks for the congrats on the baby! I've been thinking of you all! He is such a big, healthy boy, in the 93rd percentile for length!! And he was born with a very impressive mop of brown hair.
