another sibling? I have a situation like that. It's hurtful and heartbreaking. My DD refuses to speak to or have anything to do with her brother. He's a recovering addict and has been clean and sober for more than six years, but she insists that he hurt/disappointed her too many times and will not forgive him.
What makes it even worse is that I had another son. He died 10 years ago. He was a recovering addict as well and was clean and sober for three years before his death. He hurt and disappointed her at least as much as my living son had. She forgave him long before he died.
My DD will be 50 in May; my son is 52. You know the story about cutting the baby in half and giving a piece to each woman who claimed to be his mother. I feel like a mother who's being cut in half, with a piece given to each child.
DD is the Queen of Grudge Holders. There was a period of time (about 15 years) when she wouldn't have anything to do with her dad! All's well between them now, thank heaven. Wish there was some way to reach her and let her know how much her "shunning" of my son hurts me (and him, too).
Please tell me I'm not the only one. It would help just knowing that there are others with this kind of problem between their kids.
