[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 734223, member: 19522"] I am so sorry for the things you have dealt with growing up. Life can be so unfair. I am sorry your daughter is using your grandbaby as a bargaining chip. I know how that feels. It is sad. I have come to feel that it does no good for grandchildren to grow up watching their grandparents be controlled and manipulated by their parents. Someone has to put a stop to it. Otherwise, the misconception of taking loved ones for granted is [I]perpetuated[/I]. I love my grands, but will not tolerate their parents using me. You sound strong and determined Lia, and that is good. Don’t apologize for being emotional, that’s part of being human. Let it out, it is healthy to express feelings. Try not to write the end of the story. This may be a temporary setback in your relationship. You are standing up for yourself and your right to set boundaries in your home. Perhaps your daughter will come to her senses in the future and try to reconcile. In the meantime, each day do something very kind for yourself. I think you have a good plan to seek out volunteering. Having enough love to give time and energy to others is an awesome thing. Oftentimes, people who give so much love, neglect themselves. Make sure that you give to yourself! Self care and self love is [I]not selfish. [/I]It helps us be the strongest version of ourselves. That’s important for all of us to understand, to be able to walk in this world and give from an abundance from within. You matter, your peace and joy matters. These next few days may be difficult as you go through this change in your living arrangements. Take time to regroup and build yourself up. I am glad you are standing firm. It is a life lesson for your daughter and her boyfriend. You are liberating them to be responsible for themselves. You are also rightfully saying “Not in my house”. Your home should be your sanctuary. Many hugs to you. Stay strong Leafy [/QUOTE]
