I don't think all families/relationships are wonderful, there always skeletons in everyones past/closet. I keep hopeful and when I feel really down, I turn on the news and see my problems aren't all so bad,it could be worse.

Especially if there are grandchildren. I am always thankful when everything is going smoothly. No matter how short lived. Take care.

If you agree with everything she says or does then watch out - and i have been the target of many hateful words. It's funny though because I never got angry at her, I say that is because of the Lord working in my life, because normally I would get angry about things like that. I tried taking the high road, I wrote a letter, which I read to her over the phone (on several voice mail messages - she wouldn't answer if she knew it was me). Anyway, things are better right now but I do feel I have to be very careful with what I say to her. Not the kind of relationship I had dreamed of having with her, but .... <br />Sorry to ramble on...<br />Thinking of you and your family.<br />LindaLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04283706879033071137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5718879487141141898.post-10938280658454844482009-07-25T08:34:13.470-07:002009-07-25T08:34:13.470-07:00Thankyou for your input on this family crisis.

I have copied and pasted your "wiseness" to print out for myself to remind me of these thoughts. <br /><br />I, myself, am guilty of using the easy way out...sending an email or leaving a voice message. It's easier...but I am learning...I paid the price when others reacted in an unexpected way to my comments.<br /><br />Harsh words can never be <br />unspoken...they may be forgiven but never forgotten.<br /><br />Thinking of you and wishing you well...<br />Kathy [haynes117@aol.com]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5718879487141141898.post-24769719075174176472009-07-25T06:31:08.522-07:002009-07-25T06:31:08.522-07:00So sorry to hear about your family turmoil Betty.....So sorry to hear about your family turmoil Betty... it's sad and nerve wracking when people can't get along, especially family.

You cannot co...A thought from an AB list lurker...<br /><br />You cannot control anyone else's behavior and, sadly, some families have a culture of wounding each other. What you CAN do, however, is to live by example. Instead of shutting doors when someone says something hurtful, use words that leave the passageway open: "Your words hurt me but I love you more than that hurt. Let's put family first and talk about how to make this (whatever the issue is) better." <br /><br />If the persons who are doing the damage are operating from a self-proclaimed moral high ground, gently remind them that relationships are more important than keeping score.<br /><br />I will you well -<br />JoyceJoycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05694218284346571040noreply@blogger.com
