You nailed it! Thanks Cynthia! I appreciate that! I'm so sorry that you had to go through all of that. I think, since she is continuing the same patterns and having inappropriate conversations with the kids, that you are absolutely doing the right thing keeping them from her. lisaqs last blog post..<a href="http://20-forty.com/2008/09/04/the-ethics-of-having-children-guest-post/" rel="nofollow">The Ethics of Having Children-Guest Post</a> Haha…That’s exactly right Gwen.

I only wish that she would have some of the same insightful thoughts. Not only did she remarry so many times, but at some point during each marriage she would start dating someone else. As the oldest child, I was expected to "help" her hide it from the others. NOT! I remember during marriage #3, when the guy I still call dad asked me where she was and I told him that she was out with someone else. I must have been about 7 years old and I still remember him going after them and the car wreck that occurred (No joke). I will say that yes those experiences have obviously helped to build the person I am today. But I honestly could have done without a lot of it. To this day, I can't and won't forgive her (she actually left me with husband 5 while she moved in with another boyfriend). I live a good day's drive from her and rarely talk to her. But my biggest dilemma is that my 2 oldest children think the world of her. She recently got back together with her childhood boyfriend (while still living with husband #5). Although she is an adult and I have distanced myself, she had the audacity to tell my 13-year old what she was doing. At which point I told her to stay out of their lives for the most part. ......All of this venting/rambling brings me to say that I am so very happy for you and your daughters, that you HAVE been able to build a great relationship with them. I wish that were a possibility for me, but too much stands in the way. .....I love what you are doing with this site.
