As some of you know my daughter and I have only recently connected after being estranged for about 12 years. It is a long story and I probably need to write it out honestly and truthfully and brutally because she had her reasons for locking me out of her life. But back to the positive-------

I was on line last evening when my message window popped up and said hey mom, are you there? This is a miracle because 1st of all she said once she would never own a conputer AND that she is feeling positive enough with our reunion that she wants contact.

We chatted last night for about an hour and she even sent me pictures of my new grandbaby. We have been phoning, but only occassionally, since both of us are still feel somewhat awkward.

She sought me out on line

SHE SOUGHT ME OUT ON LINE

SHE SOUGHT ME OUT ON LINE

So my fellow parents who are suffering the estrangement of a child or children, hang in there This is living proof that anything is still possible.

My daughter could have cared less if I lived or died before last November. The rebuilding of our mom/kid bond has been slow and is still not as before.
Of course, during this time lapse----She grew up and is now an adult--hard for me to imagine. But we are reunited and the cool part is SHE CAME BACK ON HER OWN

So have faith in your heart It just proves Anything is possible
 
Herc,

I'm glad for you I really am. As far as my situation.....When pigs fly!!!!!!
 
Well She, let me tell you what. With the insanity going on in the world today, I expect to look out anytime and see just that------pigs flying
 
The communication link between my daughter is continuing, much to my delight. Last evening she emailed me a couple of beautiful pictures of her wedding.

I use to dwell on the fact that I was left out of the wedding, the pregnancy, the birth and the first few weeks of my one and only grandchild. I use to resent her father/my ex, for being able to take part in all these life changing events. Especially since he was such a crappy father after the divorce.

I have given all that up now and can acutally enjoy the renewed relationship with my daughter more because of letting go. But, I still resent his presence in her life, but that is my issue.

So I guess this could be classified as a success story. After going through a 12 year long estrangement from my kid, to have her back in my life AND to know that she is ready and willing to forgive me, Yea this is a success story!
