[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 307950, member: 1550"] Oh, Star, you are the best...I don't even know what to say except THANK YOU! :happy: You are all wonderful. Yes, yes, yes, I have spent my life taking care of everyone except me. But each time I get kicked for it I change a little bit and the incident with my son Scott really changed me, but also made me afraid I'd lose my other children. I would like to say I no longer care, but that's a lie because I love them. But I can't control them either. My sons chose their wives and are putting them first, as they should. If they feel that means they have to throw away everyone else or put their wive's families first, well, "A son is a son till he gets him a wife..." we all know that one. If I can't spend the few times a year I'm in Illinois spoiling my grandson without daughter in law interference then I'll enjoy the others who are there and only visit on holidays. I think my grandson would really love me a lot if he got to know me, but then maybe that's why daughter in law doesn't want him to know me. I'm very nurturing and her family isn't...when they're sober. So sadly in a way it isn't just my loss. It will also be his. But I can't do anything about that. My son says it's because I live three hours away, but lots of kids are close to grandparents that don't live right down the block and they look forward to the visits. Unfortunately for me and my grandson, this just will not be us. My daughter will give me a grandchild I can spoil one day :) What do *I* want? Peace and quiet. My small town I live in. My few, good friends. My writing. My dogs (I can't leave out my dogs and cats because I think they have wonderful, loving spirits and that humans can learn a lot from them). I want to get my hair cut. I WILL GET IT CUT...lol. I want my hub to hug me...he will. I want to forget about my grown kid's problems because I raised them already. Whether or not I did a good job, I did the best job I know how. Now they have to make their own way in the world. I'm holding off on the hospital, but not because of anyone but me. I really don't want to go in. However, if things don't improve, I'll admit myself. My therapist called and they are ready for me if I want to voluntarily go in.
