[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 665234, member: 1550"] Although my grandmother screwed up at the end with her $5000 mess that made my mother meltdown and go postal on me, for the majority of my life, my memories of feeling warm and safe are with my grandmother too, Cedar. I was her Golden Child (of her three grands) and the only time I felt loved was when she was around. When I felt threatened or misunderstood or hurt by my mother as a teen, I'd run to her house. She would give me love and a place to stay. Perhaps this was not good for my mother. My mother often said my grandmother made it hard for her to raise me because s he would take over and coddle me when I didn't deserve it. But she didn't think I ever deserved any love (my mother) and she didn't give me any. I think my grandmother saw somebody vulnerable, like my mother did, but instead of hurting me, she shielded me. It is ironic that she was not that way while raising my mother (she favored my uncle, although he was an emotional mess as a kid too). But she favored him. And then when my mother had kids and GC was too emotionally tied to my grandmother's apron strings to marry anyone until his 40's or so, my grandmother chose me to be her special child. Right or wrong of her, it saved me from a loveless, friendless childhood and I will love her forever for that. TGFG! Thank God for Grandmothers. [/QUOTE]
