let me explain.....

My last post was written because I was and am very hurt and angered by the actions of some of my blood family. Being angry at people you love is a difficult thing. If it was one simple act or one unkind word I would not have reacted the way I did. This has been an ongoing thing, first with me feeling like the bad seed and then with my boys made to feel that way as well. I am a very protective Mom, I know some of you don't see that but I am regardless. Basically you can say and do whatever you want to me but don't you dare say anything about my boys. I know the difference between constructive criticism and just being judgmental...it has taken several years to know the difference but I do. In my family's defense, I have made and my boys have made some huge mistakes. Let me assure you we have paid for those mistakes in abundance. I am not the same person I was last year let alone 10 years ago and neither is Sean. Both of us have worked hard and continue to work to move past the mistakes we have made and I truly wish members of my family would stop holding our past against us. I understand this rant of mine might hurt feeling and make people angry, believe me when I say it's not that I don't care. I do care about peoples feelings but I have learned to care for myself as well and I have to get these feeling and emotions out of my head or I will only be hurting myself.

Now that you have got this out of your head, THROW IT AWAY. Hanging on to this garbage is death. Let it go. Your Grandmother learned this lesson and it changed her life. If you continue to hold on to the hurts, you can't hold on to anything else. LET IT GO!!!!! The only thing that is important is that you and Sean and D know what is right. I guess we better start adding Eden to that equation.
Love ya, BABE.
