While I haven’t talked about my mom lately, today seems bittersweet. It has been one year today since my mom left. You know there has been a lot that has happened in the past year and I could digress and go into all of it. But, why? What is that going to accomplish? Instead I am just going to give an update of where I am, where my family is and where my siblings are.
I currently do not have a relationship with my mom. I think we both are at that point, but she has told me she wants nothing to do with me, and honestly I am okay with that. I am in a much better place in my life. I still have a great relationship with my dad and am still really close to all of my siblings. I have always been close to my brother and have gotten closer to my sisters more throughout the past year.
It is sad that my children never ask about her. I am sure P doesn’t even remember who she is and that is sad. Sad that she has this grandma out there yet doesn’t know her. S no longer asks or talks about her. The really awesome thing is that B’s mom, Grandma G, has filled that void for both of them. They love their Grandma G. so much that I don’t think they even realize there is something missing. For that I am so grateful.
As far as my siblings go I can’t speak for each and everyone but I can give the gist. Out of the five of us children only my older sister still talks to my mom. The rest of us don’t for one reason or another.
This is short and sweet. I really don’t have much to say about the topic. I guess after writing this little bit I have realized I have nothing left to say about my mom or this topic. It’s another chapter in my story and I am done writing it.
