Thank you all, sometimes it just feels good to cry out loud...
Sometimes I feel guilty that I gave up on her but I just don't know what else to do. I thought for sure after her mom died and she saw how much we truly loved her by being there for her she would change...I just hope someday she sees the love we all tried tried to give her for 22 years, especially me
She was more a daughter to me than granddaughter.
Lyn that was one of the main things we (I) tried to show her, bad choices lead to consequences...she just doesn't see it or truly doesn't care. Unfortunately she is a lot like her mother was.
She was invited to my niece's wedding in September and has declined, she told my BIL that no one talks to her...always turning things around to make it look like it wasn't her that chose to not stay in our family. Does she not remember it was our entire family that reached out when she was abandoned by her mom in the first place for 5 years...
Sorry to ramble I could write a novel here if I put it down from the beginning...
Thank you all again for your kind words and hugs...
