Will be thinking of you and hope all goes as you would like it.
Speaking from the other side of the fence as it were, my mother is in Australia (age now 88) where I (and my sibling) were brought up. I got away from home 4 days after my 17th birthday and would never go back. I've kept in touch with my mother and one brother out of duty, (the other 2 don't want to know me, partly because of our upbringing and my mother, and it suits me) but I don't ever want to see my mother again. I blame her for a lot of what has been wrong in my life, perhaps not totally being fair, but it is how I see it. If I had married and had kids (which she put me off totally - I can't stand children, due in no small part to my upbringing) I would not have let her near them . She would have thought she knew what was best for them and been telling me how I should bring them up and how I should run my life in general. She never told me she loved me until I was well in my 20's and I was quite convinced she didn't. I don't know anything about your relationship with your daughter of course, but if in the past you have tried to tell her how to run her life, even with the best of intentions, do try to keep a lid on it for this meeting. Good luck. Janet |

You can pick your friends but unfortunatly you cannot pick your family. I think at some point we all fall out, I have just started talking to my mother after
two years with no contact apart from some cards.
Good Luck for Thursday, I did it one step at a time, the only way. |

Wowee Teejay - what a moment. The Sheenies will be thinking of you - as many have said - try to make it as lighthearted a getting-to-know-you as possible. Hard
as it may be also try not to be too emotional - slowly does it. Hopefully, having her brother there will create a safe passage to re-igniting your
relationship. Wishing you well.
So many Sheenies having difficult or non-existent family relationships - well, we can't all get along with everyone and that applies to family members sometimes. If your heart says the relationship is not good for you then so be it. Doesn't take away the sadness for some, but will bring relief and freedom for others. Very difficult and brave decisions have been made among our members and I wish you all peace and strength. Donna X |

I do know what you are going through. I have been in your position. You are over the worst hurdle which was making the first contact - Smile and be positive
and I am sure all will be well. One step and a time.
My best wishes to you. gg x |

I'm wishing you Very Best Wishes on this one.
Like some others sadly I too, had an argument with my daughter when she was 18 resulting in her leaving home and not having any contact with us for over 6 years. When we finally came to meet, at my request, things were very 'strained' to say the least. I wanted to ask loads of questions and hopefully get answers in return! However I stayed quiet and felt how 'the land laid'. For a long time it was like walking on egg-shells, and even now 10 years later I, at times, bite my tongue and wait to be asked about things rather than jumping in. On the other hand my OH's 2 daughters lost contact shortly after we got married nearly 25 yrs ago. The eldest wrote to us last July telling us that she would like to get to know us and her 2 sons (soon to be 3) get to know their Grandparents. Even after 12 months my husband cann't bring himself to let the walls down and meet them even though he e-mails every week to see how they all are. So please test the waters first to see how things are and don't build up too many expectations too soon. Christine xxx |
