I saw a post on FB from my daughter's step mother. They had a get together and I did get to see pictures of my daughter and her baby, my grandson. It hurts that I haven't met him yet. I sent gifts through my son to her but haven't heard back yet, or may not. Still hoping one day I can meet him but also wondering how bad I f'd up to have my firstborn child not want to have anything to do with me. Ive come to the realization that I might never get to meet my grandson and I have to come to terms with that as much as it hurts.

I can empathize. One of my sons has a son, my grandson, and I haven't met him, held him, nothing. I did get some pictures and a video of him from my son, but it hurts knowing I haven't got the chance to see him. , This woman manipulated my son into having a baby, and left him after all the tricks up her sleeve. Made a joint account, stopped paying the rent and bills, left my son all alone for months in what he thought was going to be his forever life with her. I even sent her money to support them for rent. It hurt him so much. I heard him crying behind the door, listening to Randy Travis ''I'm going to love you forever and ever''

I'm tearing up right now. No wonder he's in such depression. I push the thought of it away a lot, because I warned him. But he couldn't understand what I saw coming. I don't blame my son, he's younger than her, and I could see what she was all about but you cant hurt your son and come right out and say ''she doesn't love you she just wants a baby''... I did try to gently tell him he needs to enjoy his life before having a baby, he needs a job, she needs a job, and he needs time for him only to work on getting a car etc. to enjoy his young life. Lack of sleep has me rambling, but it hurts me for him.

kind of conflicted. i have a doctors appointment thursday , 1 thing is i'm going to ask him to prescribe my weight loss meds because i want to quit weight clinic.

the other thing i'm not sure about. since we moved to the senior complex we seem to have given up, it's like we are in gods waiting room waiting to go home. we used to go out 2 or 3 times a week now it's once every week or 2.

we haven't even taken our 64 dodge out yet and it always comes out in march or april. we seem to have lost our will to live. i have been having a lot more bad thoughts. so not sure if i should tell him how bad things are

I got my courage up and asked my boss about pt work. He was apprehensive about it but asked if I could work ft if some other work came in. I said yes knowing that it wouldn’t happen before the end of the year. So he was going to check with HR. I feel relieved that it is over. Now I don’t have to worry about work for the foreseeable future if granted.

You're a good person and mother. I hope you get to see your grandson one day. (((Hugs)))

Sorry to hear this. I know things are rough when you haven't taken Jasmine out yet. Barb2 is probably getting impatient to hit the road. And you both used to enjoy dining out so much. Are there any places near your new pad that you like, or might want to try. Is being around a lot more seniors dampening your mood? Or is it just that getting old and feeble crap? Hope you are at least able to take Jasmine out soon.

thank you barb, we are taking her out saturday to our favorite ice cream place " we only take jasmine there " my son os going to help us. i think it's because it's a senior complex and it's like our final home and it's filled with old people which makes us feel older if you know what i mean

Glad to hear you are taking Jasmine out on Saturday. Hugs to your son for helping you. Just because it is your final home on earth does not mean you have to stop living. Maybe some of your neighbors would like an introduction and ride in Jasmine. Help you get acquainted and maybe interest them in something other than sitting around at home. I do expect a full report on your Saturday adventure.
