[QUOTE="momshope, post: 761806, member: 28730"] Thank you! I have 2 kids from my first marriage and believe it or not, a wonderful relationship with my step daughter AND her mom for over 30 years. I am good at blending families, and kept close after my divorce 17 years ago. My kids, especially the elder one (New mom) have suddenly rejected my husband with created drama and I can see where this is going. I now live 3 hours away and they won't even meet me less than halfway. My health has suffered terribly, I have cataracts (nervous to drive at night) psoriatic arthritis, PTSD from abuse and anxiety disorder, that they are well aware of. No empathy from them. I made the trip alone in October, and while I love to drive, it was very exhausting and difficult. No regrets as I got to hold my precious grandson, but REALLY they can't drive one hour while I drive two? I know it isn't me. But sometimes I wish I hadn't fallen prey to the divorce guilt, and "saved her" as a teen and college student. Her sense of entitlement is astounding and NOT how I raised either of them. But then there's DADDY who I have begged for years to stop enabling her, and get her butt into therapy. He gas lighted me at every turn, a bona fide Narcissist who now, suddenly believes in medication and therapy - for himself. Thank you so much for your encouragement and please know you and your loved ones are in my prayers tonight. I've lost folks to suicide. It is the most selfish thing a person can do - they end their misery, and we are left with the fallout. I have compassion for the souls who feel no other way out, truly I do. But to blame others is just wrong, in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
