was, at times difficult, due to all the restrictions placed on them,
which led to strains in the parent/child relationships,,,,,, then years later, after that child had grown and had children,,,had,,,well, come back to you
i just bought myself a shredder to do some purging of life and paper:)
so i found a stack with all the divorce papers, about 7 years old, sheesh they were nasty,,x-a jw, and 3 (most grown) jw and one df'd.....................i was df'd
i tried not to read as i was shredding, but i couldnt help myself in some parts
my one child, the difficult of the 4, which i now feel had learning issue, incl dsylexia, etc, claims i once told him to go to hell,,,,hhmmm,,that is so not my language,,,,,but i am thinking, well maybe i did, always alone trying to raise the 4 children, pioneer, work part time, etc,,,,i might have, but i dont remember it
we are estranged, with my oldest (daughter-df'd) and i emailing sporadically
just wondering, did any of you go thru something like this, with at least one of the children wanting to have a relationship with you,,,,,i am feeling that after all those years i thought i was a good parent and loved them, that they all hate me,,,hhmm
ok pity parti over,,,but just wondering,,,well hoping i think is the truth
thanks
