My ...A few of my kids(out of 6) have given me fits. My youngest daughter the worst. Alcoholic, bad boyfriends, late night phone call in all sorts of places to come and get her - all while she lived here. Many friends told us to "throw her ass out" Never....2 yrs ago after her 2nd DWI and it was no longer up to me how her life went(she was still living here), she fell apart one night and told me she had terminated a pregnancy several years before (kind of explained the increase in drinking at that point and beyond). When she told me about it she said, "I know how you feel about that and I am sure you are going to throw me out now". Although heartbroken, I said " Jilly, I love you and if I didn't throw you out for being a drunk I certainly would never throw you out for this." She is now sober, working, engaged and living with a nice guy. She always was the sweetest girl ever and I will never regret not throwing her under the bus. She probably contributed to my heart attack, but she is alive and well and moving on to a good place. Amen! Beth, I am sorry your parents were so rigid. Mine would have been heartbroken, but would always have been there for me.....Isn't it amazing that these many years later it is still haunting you. Be well....You have lots of love in your life!Wendy Birdseye Pavlushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02934962705260043015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13365998.post-21388852318517546262012-01-11T11:35:30.476-08:002012-01-11T11:35:30.476-08:00I feel the same way.

No matter what, I felt like I could always go and stay at my parents' house if I needed help.Valerie Lovelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309299429765944601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13365998.post-92120028272558613312012-01-11T05:52:02.182-08:002012-01-11T05:52:02.182-08:00The one thing our mothers probably taught us in a ...The one thing our mothers probably taught us in a weird and twisted way - although mine would never see the point anyway - is how to be a mother in the first place. I am not daft but not until I had a child myself did I realise how it could have been done.<br /><br />It's the best therapy, be a mother and be yourself and don't look back.Sabinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09015827501648296977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13365998.post-75610004813374591802012-01-11T05:37:53.648-08:002012-01-11T05:37:53.648-08:00I will never understand that either- how a parent ...I will never understand that either- how a parent could throw a child out of the house. <br />Bless you, baby. Wrong was done to you for sure. <br />I never got "thrown out," but I ran out and there was no way in holy hell I was ever going back to that pit of fear and evil. <br />I wish you could feel safe. Maybe someday you will.Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.com
