She's apologized for the letter; her excuse..."you know I've always been dramatic, Mom...." - I have to let it go, but, judge me as you will, I know I will never forget it, and it has probably put a permanent scar on my emotional being - words said, and especially words written, cannot be 'sucked back in'... I'll always be somewhat on guard with her now. But my love for her is the same as always, and her little son is so precious to me.

My son, on the other hand, is compassionate, caring, warm (he was a nightmare as a teenager! No drugs or alcohol or anything - but a mouth! And a temper! Unbelievable!) He is the one who called my daughter and told her how wrong and hurtful her letter had been....but I'm not supposed to know that.

I suppose all of this, combined with my 'last life' (see 'letting go of the 'ex) - and losing my Dad (I'm an only child) - and moving to a new state with a new husband....I am still somewhat in the Twilight Zone but I'm determined to keep my sense of humor and make my present life good for everyone around me!
