[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 137808, member: 1550"] No, he won't return to the family. I've written him a few heartfelt letters with no response. No, I don't feel like doing it. It's really not in my heart. He has hurt me, his father and my daughter, whom he was really close to and he doesn't care. He read a book called "Boundaries" and decided that "It's YOUR responsibility how I make you feel. If I hurt you, it's really not my problem." Um, ok. I went through the hurt and grieving stage and am over it, and accepting that this child wont be part of the family. But I let him know the door is always open. So, really, I DON'T feel like it, but wondered if I'm a bad person and a bad mother if I don't. So there's the guilt there. I don't want to say "get back" at him, but I don't want him to think that I feel it's all right that he hurt everyone in the family either. I think I tried hard enough...I dunno. Maybe some of you get me. I'm not sure I get me...lol [/QUOTE]
