Mandy,

Your story is something I am not familiar with. I have a lot of jerkoffs in my family but, as you said, we socialize on the level we need to. It can be hurtful at times. Because there are liars who breed dislike for other members and I always tell them there are 2 sides to every story.

Anyway, I am really glad you have one daughter who cares and loves you. I read your article about not loving your oldest daughter anymore and I understand that.

I just see a big disaster in the future concerning that oldest girl and she will want you in her life. Obviously, it will be too late for her but hopefully the grandchildren will come to you.

There should not be so much hurt in one family caused by one person. But it happened in mine with my drug-addicted daughter, for different reasons than yours, and it's been hell trying to repair that mess. I am determined to do it though.

Thank you for sharing all this. It's been a learning experience to be part of your journey.
