That is a start! Yay! Sometimes it takes folks a little bit to come around, but at least she is allowing you access to your grandkids, and that is fantastic news! Continued prayers!

Very happy to hear this news... A little Christmas miracle all it's own. Sending prayer and light energy that her hear will be lifted and the greatest good will happen for all. Many hugs your way!

Well, I got some more disturbing news from my daughter. She point blank told me I had no more family. I was too far away for anyone to keep in touch with me. My granddaughter is probably the only one that will cause she tells me she will. My heart dropped and is still around my feet. I am trying very very hard to pull myself up but sometimes it is so hard and it hurts too much to keep trying. NOW..don't think for one minute I would do anything again like I did the first time but I am old and feel older everyday. After she told me that, I told if she had planned to come over for Christmas not to bother...her response was we were'nt planning to cause we know you don't have anything anyway.

What a selfish little #(*&%#(*(#*. Christmas isn't about what you have or don't have. It's about celebrating family and goodwill.
I so hope She will realize just how much she's hurting you. Hopefully she will still let the grandkids talk to you. What she's doing isn't right at all, especially at Christmas time.
I have placed your name at my church for prayers as well as to a prayer group that prays for situations just like these. I plan on lighting candles for you this weekend.

It's Christmas - it's not about what's under the tree but rather who's around the tree that matters! I love you! You and the hubs are always welcome at my house and in my heart! Don't worry about old Ebeneezer daughter. Come to AL and celebrate with us! You know we'll be peeking in. Here at AL, you don't have to cook or even bring anything. And you already give us beautiful presents simply by being yourself! And we're family, so you are right at home here. And I won't even make you eat my un-gelled Jell-O! Why am I the only person who can't make stupid Jell-O? Heh.

My heart breaks for you Barb. But, as Grassy said, it's not about what's under the tree, it'a about who's around the tree. We'll all be gathered round the AL tree. We are family here.

I am sorry to hear this Barb. I can't imagine the anguish it causes you. i hope you can focus on those who do care and try to withdraw from this hurt as much as you can. We at AL do care. ??

This is very hard to hear and sounds terribly painful. I agree with Silk, that distancing yourself from these mean spirited conversations is wise and a good step toward positive balance in your life and staying centered.

Well, I just feel so bad for both you and your daughter...don't know what kind of history you have with her but wonder if its always been a rocky relationship. If your daughter doesn't regret her words now, then I'm sure she will soon. Maybe Christmas Day would be a good time to reach out a forgiving hand and let by-gones be by-gones. I hope the future will be better for you all.

We have had a close relationship that is why this is so hard to take.

(((((BarbV))))) I dunno... it's pretty strange to me. If you've had a close relationship than I think it's the guy. If it's him behind all this she will come to her senses before long - because depriving her of you will not be enough for a possessive manipulator. It may have to get worse for her before she chooses to make changes that will make it better. Hold onto her in your heart because I truly think this road is harder on her than it is on you - and you know how hard it is for you. My heart is filled with enveloping love for you both - and the children too. I hope a Christmas miracle occurs... I am praying for the highest good for your family. I'll be in and out on Christmas too - we have no family nearby (and never have had due to the military moves,) so we are used to being alone and quiet. I do hope you pop in and say hello.
