Hey, ND,
She's had the benefit of the doubt far too long. This is just the latest of many ways she has hurt me. She knew exactly what I meant with the journal.... I read the 1st page and it said, "Mama, (my name by the way) here's the journal I picked out for us to write in. blah blah blah. The journal was one I BOUGHT her... and I know she wasn't writing to ME because she made references to her siblings over there.
She always loves to tell me how great Andrea is.... how she can wear the same jeans....he hair is always perfect.... and on and on. She has stolen very important mementos from me, of my parents and brother.... it goes on and on.
I appreciate your positive spin on it... I really do. But I think I just need to keep my guard up with her from now on before she sends me over the edge. I"m gonna keep a safe distance and concentrate on the 3 children I still have here and need to raise. Ya know?
