I saw my step daughter...

for the first time on over a year I saw my step daughter on Friday. I was walking in Walmart and she was walking out.
I said " well hello stranger"

she looked at me with a blank look and said
"hello"

and she kept walking.....
:wtf2


mmmmm still involved with her addiction I guess.

Sad.

When their head is in the right place they are more willing to engage in conversation.
Wish this was the case. So sorry it wasn't.

I saw my stepson last week for the first time ever! Because of my husband's addiction, he's not allowed to see them at all....

Awww, Nuf, that had to hurt, and it also had to feel sad to know she is still stuck in her addiction.

Sending big hugs, mom to mom, because I know our kids would rather be clean and talking to both of us, but it just may take a while.

That's so sad...I'm sorry she isn't finished her research...Hope it happens soon and the next contact is much more pleasant.

I can't imagine the hurt you must have felt.
Just know that it had nothing to do with you.
Your a good person. She was probably just too
ashamed of herself to acknowledge you.
Let it go, sweetie.
Prayers,
Linda

I'm sorry that she still seems to be doing research.

I can assure you that it has nothing to do with you! When I was using, I was standing on the corner one day, and my ex next-door-neighbor rode by on his bike. I didn't say anything and wanted to crawl under a car....I was just too ashamed of myself. Using was easy when I was only around other addicts...facing someone who was from my "old life" was incredibly embarrassing and I felt like the lowest scum of the earth.

Hugs and prayers!

Amy

That must have hurt. I imagine it hurt both of you!

I am a strong believer that there are no coincidences in God's world. My prayer is that this is the beginning of change and healing.

Hugs

you would think after 18 years of "research" she would have had enough???

Guess not.

yes it hurt , but as I look back on it now...
it hurt less then having a conversation with her while she was actively involved in her research!

somedays I just miss her.

I'm so sorry for your hurt, nuf...
I don't believe in coincedences, and I like to think that there was another purpose for this chance meeting other to wound your dear heart...we don't know the impact on your daughter-in-law from seeing you but lets hope it was maybe meant to cause something to shift in her a little.....one can only pray....prayers and hugs for you and her...........
