[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 604409, member: 805"] [SIZE=3][FONT=comic sans ms]Jody, I'm going to be honest - I have a relationship with my daugher that I always wished I would have had with my mother - even better than I dreamed really. Not to push that in your face, but to let you know I understand the desire to do it differently. [/FONT] [FONT=comic sans ms]Having said that, the courage and strength it took for you "let go" is amazing. What you have done is put your feelings and expectations aside to do what is best for all in the long run. I predict that this is going to really make a big difference. The distance will eventually make your memories of the trouble fade a little bit. The anticipation of speaking with her, and her with you, will probably make it that negative talk is set aside and the "how are you doing?" and "I miss you" replacements. On the other side of this time of pain and struggle I bet the two of you come out with a great relationship as she matures. Take the time to build yourself back up comfortable knowing you are a great mother who has made a decision that will serve to preserve a relationship that could have been irrevocably damaged had this change not happened. Spend some time repairing your heart. Sharon [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
