    Has she always lived with you?

    I know kids have to go through the anger-at-their-parents stage. I know when my daughter was still living at home I once slapped her and called her b***h!. She was 18 at the time.

    We now live together pretty peacefully.

    Susie,

    I have a mac. They are not as easily invaded by viruses as pc’s.

    Bobbie,

    I couldn’t get along with my mom either. She died when I was 18. I was a daddy’s girl and she hated it! Some of my daughter’s problems I think is cause her dad left us when she was 9 and didn’t bother much with her when he was here. Selfish pig….. Still doesn’t bother with her, or his other daughter and son. What a shame. He has so many grandchildren too.

    It may be the age, but we are so different as she is just like her dad. That doesn’t help. When my mom was sick and dying of cancer, I was a selfish brat and I feel guilty for it now. My mom spoiled me I believe.

    Bumble bee,

    Yes, how old is your daughter? My son just turned 26 and it took him awhile to mature but I think has finally started on that stage of his life. We have always been able to talk about anything except girlfriends. I learned my lesson the hard way with that one. You know the saying “love is blind” well that is something that they don’t seem to want to hear about and I voiced my opinion and let’s just say that it wasn’t the right thing to do. My niece will talk to me about anything and seems to want to know what I think but she will not do that with her mom. Strange how kids can be!!

    oh boy, Bumblebee,do not feel guilty for what happened to your mom. It was out of your control. Your mom loved you and had to leave for another place. My mom hated that I was daddy’s “son” the oldest of 3 girls, not that he was a “man’s man”. He didn’t fix cars, or work inside the house, but he went to work damn near every day of his life, gave his pay to Mom, mowed the lawn, love his outdoors, flowers, knew every name of what he planted and just was the man he was meant to be. Never argued with Mom, til I got older and made it bad for them, made me love sports and told me about them. Mom wanted me to cook, he said no, We’re busy, that can come later. Still knew how to cook at 11, but whatever. My point is girls are so tough. Boys will break your heart, girls, will wear you down. Somewhere between the 2, hopefully something happens.

    To hear the roomate’s son, say at 34, I am just like my dad and I hate it because I don’t want to be like him. Had realized what not to do and is trying to make up to his Mom.

    To hear my son at 34, yes they are 1 month apart in age, say, why am I like Dad and not more like you? You can’t answer those questions, just be honest with what you went through, apologize if need be, and admit you made mistakes. And pray that they call you the next day. Mine did. Hope yours will too.

    Hugs, purrs and Love, Lynn

    I made apologies to all my kids. My oldest son and I are close, and can talk about anything but politics (he is right, I am left). My daughter & I can talk about everything, but she has secrets she has admitted that she will never share with me, and that is ok.

    My youngest son lives 40 mins from me, and never calls, never comes over (except in emergencies), doesn’t let me know what is going on with his two girls – denies any problems with our past.

    There are always problems.

    We are not close at all, unfortunately. Neither are his girls. It’s too bad, and I try not to blame myself for the distance.

    It’s hard.

    Bobbi, some come around and some don’t. Accept them for who they are, each in there own way. I know this is hard to do. Remember one thing, you have tried to reach out to them. As adults, it is up to them to come to grips with what is going on inside of their minds. In this day and age, there is no perfect solution to parenting, in my opinion. We all did the best we could. Make mistakes, yes, who didn’t, but the bottom line is, we all have to deal with what we were dealt. I am sorry for your situation, and I wish you peace with what may be in your future. Do not blame yourself, you did what you had to do. They need to come back to you, if they can, and resolve what needs to be resolved. Enjoy what you have, but don’t blame yourself for what you don’t have right now. It is up to them. I hope all works out for you. Hugs and Purrs and Love, Lynn

    I know I’m late posting this, haven’t been online in a bit.

    I’m still very upset with what happened on Sept. 11, 2001. It shook me to the core. I felt a whole spectrum of emotions that day. I still can’t talk about 9-11 without crying.

    I did watched Flight 93 last year, but I’m not doing that again. I cried the whole time I watched it but couldn’t turn the tv off. I cried for days afterwards, too. I remember that day like it was yesterday. Last year was the 1st time I worked on 9-11 and I’m not doing that this year.

    Cathi, didn’t watch the movie, knew what it would do to me. I am sorry it bothered you so much. I hope that if you have off tomorrow that it will be a calming and peaceful day for you. Thanks for sharing and coming back on. Hugs and Purrs, love and comfort, Lynn
