Thanks Donna. Yep we only have control over us. I choose not to meet my biological Mom because when she tried to communicate with me all she could do was lie about my Dad. The worst lie was that he sat my crib on fire with me in it.
I know that I have had a better life being raised by my Dad and the woman I proudly consider my Mom. I hope I raise my kids to be great and caring people. I can't censor their Dad or make him out to be something he never was. He will need to fix the damage he has done to his relationships with them. I used to try to gently try to mend the fences between them and ex(before he was ex) would just say that it was me putting words in their mouths! I listen to the kids and try to give them solutions but it is between then now.
