    • I’m With You

      From dj54 June 17

      Just wanted to let you know I know how you feel. I have been living for years without a relationship with my sons due to their father and his family blaming me for everything that happened so long ago. It still is a very deep wound and salt gets dumped in it from time to time. I just stop and remember the Serenity prayer and change my minds direction, so I can go on with MY LIFE and do the things I need and want to do for myself. Maybe you too need to stop living YOUR life for others, instead live it for YOURSELF and they may want to be part of it with you. Gotta find a healthy balance. Take are of yourself. Deb

    • Close Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Child

      I have 2 sons, I lost one in death, suicide. The other is living but may as well be dead. He and his family (except for his young son) has nothing to do with my husband and I. It breaks my heart and at times I can hardly deal with the rejection. No cards on Mother's day, no gifts at Xmas. He told my husband, his father, this is how he wants it. 90% of the time I feel like someone has walked on my heart. How do I continue to keep a sound mind. Would nerve pills help?

      Treatments

      Crying Somewhat Helpful

      I have 2 sons, one died and the other may as well be dead from the way he distance himself from us. It is more hurtful then loosing the one in death.
