What a surprise to come here this morning and see that you've posted an update. Welcome back!
It's hard to believe it's been 9 years ago that you were struggling w/your xh and son. It took a long time for your son to see the light, but I'm glad he finally did and came to realize that you weren't crazy, but a mom who was fighting to have a relationship w/her only child.
Congratulations on becoming a grandmother! I'm sure you will get many opportunities to be w/the little one when he/she arrives into the world. Cherish those memories and be sure to take a lot of photos!
So, tell us what you are doing for you these days? Are you working? What are you doing in the way of hobbies and activities?
Renee, I'm glad you returned...don't be a stranger. There are many here that need to see that there is a life after divorce and that we can pick up the pieces and move on in a successful manner. As we have said before, it all takes time and we have to learn to be patient and not rush the process.
Take care!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
