How very true. Can the heart mend when a dagger has been put through it?

It can.
My only consolation is that one day they will grow up and go through the same stupid crap with thier kids.

I did that with my mom. Paybacks are hell.
I realized as soon as I gave birth, and called my mom to thank her for putting up with me, and loving me.
I will probably be scattered to the winds by the time she has children her age.
I'm not an experienced mommy, and we will see what comes of this.
What nasty little biatches they can be. (As I was...but I don't think to this degree)

And this is only my first!
I still have 3 girls to go.Now that I'm a mom of 4 girls...I call my mother a lot to say I'm sorry and thank you. I just did it today as a matter of fact.
Boy, ain't THAT the truth! My nasty step-daughter is wonderful to me but she's meaner than dirt to her mother. My own daughter can be the biggest beyotch on planet earth - she's a peach now that she's older (and doesn't live at homeWenchy said:

This brought us back together today. (My hand is resting on top of hers with the bird one of our cats decided to "play" with) The baby bird died 5 minutes later, and we both cried, and buried the baby together. The parents were flying around us crying their hearts out.

Ok..I really need a dying baby bird. SO much so I'm ready to climb a tree and knock one out of the nest myself.

I really thought that baby could make it. I was getting the eyedropper and food out when Tyger came back in and told me the baby had died.
It happened, and please don't climb a tree.
She went to sleep loving me, but tomorrow is another day.
It is so hard letting them go.

:Warning: My mind gets dark when I'm stressed and it's late at night. Especially when I'm stressed over one of my children.
I was just thinking about how symbolic that baby bird is.

BUT........ I only have 3 months left with Pooh. She's 18 in August. And she's already made it clear she thinks she's ready to be out on her own. No college dreams.
Just a HS diploma, working at Sheetz and moving in with her boyfriend. And I have to let her go. Part of me can't wait to see her out in the world, to see the wonderful woman I know she'll one day be when she quits being so damned hard headed. The other part is holding on for dear life, SCREAMING, "No, no! Not yet! She's not ready! It'll be too hard for her. It wasn't enough time for me to teach her everything I want her to know!"
But she thinks she knows it all.
Her hope chest is full to the brim and she's going. I hate it. Even though I'm mad as hell at her right now about her behavior as of late, I hate it. There's nothing I can do about it, short of chaining her here. (which I have considered) But I don't have to like it.

It was the absolutely hardest thing I had to do when I let my oldest mutt go....and even though I knew he was going to be ok(he went in the AF).....it still didn't make it any easier
When I dropped him off to go, I went back to the hotel room and cried for 5 hours....It took me 3 days to finally pack his room and clean it out
My 17 yr old informed me the other day that he is going in the same path as his older brother(AF) and he has already talked to the recruiter and is getting everything set up so that he can go about a month after graduation

And now is the time for her to take on the world - while she still knows everything!MysticalMom said:
But boy is it hard to watch them do it. They will have trials and tribulations that make you grind your teeth at night. I just keep saying, "Is this going to literally kill her?" and if the answer is "no" I try and go back to sleep.
We were all 18 year old dorks who thought we knew it all and were ready to take our place in the world. And it turned out fine.
Arrrrggggghhhhh....
While our Doug was at boot camp, Larry was watching "Full Metal Jacket" and I about went into a sobbing-induced coma during the boot camp scenes.onebdzee said:

You know, I *hear* this - but - I wasn't. My sisters were - they talked right back to my parents. My little brother insulted my parents to their face. Even till I was 30, I couldn't bring myself to even lie to them, much less be anything but respectful. They raised me, and they always had my best interests at heart. My siblings thought there was something wrong with me.
Now, I disagreed with them vigorously - left their church, moved out and did things they were against - but I always made my case without emotion.
I know this sounds like bull, but you could ask my parents, and they'd say, yeah, he's crazy, but he was always a Richie Cunningham good kid.
I keep HOPING that's what I'll get...
Do you, as an adult, look back on your involvement with a religious cult and still feel it was the smart, mature thing to do? Would you do it over again?SamSpade said:
