[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 570238, member: 1514"] Im so very sad to think of all this. On the one hand I can sort of understand how your daughter has kept some of her life away from you simply because she didnt want you to know what was going on but then again to text her own daughter who you were raising just raises it to a completely incomprehensible level to me. I dont know how you get past that. I kept much of my life from my father. I dont think he ever knew I was diagnosed with any mental health diagnosis. At least I never told him and I dont think my mom knew. She was too far into her alzheimers at that point to understand it by that time and I never found any letters she wrote to him about it and I think I would have. At that point in time I think he would have assumed she was completely delusional anyway. He did know about my physical stuff but even that I tended to under-play. We both did with each other. We tended to not want to worry the other one. Of course he wasnt taking care of my kids and I wasnt depending on him to bail me out of jail or support me. I just wanted him to think well of me. I felt at his age he didnt need to worry about his grown child. If there was a true need, he would know. [/QUOTE]
