My UFO (unbelievably fabulous observations)

[hoosiermama]

I'm also a child of divorce (altho my dad actually died before the divorce was filed--they were separated for over a year when he died). and that's why I don't know my relatives. none of my dad's family lived near us, and altho he was the oldest of 12 (!) I think there was some conflict with my mother somewhere along the line. I don't want this to happen to my daughter--which is why I was VERY clear that I want them to continue to include her even if they don't communicate with me.
