Need a coffee ♨ alone's ok too. Leaving them to it, reminds me of old days, not much relevant to say, can't keep up etc. I tried. Just having a breather. A quiet hot comforting drink.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

You have a lot to say that is very worthwhile @Former-Member.

You call a spade - a spade ❣

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope, i can only try. Probably too blunt at times, i guess, but you should see my family carry on - got nothing on them. Sometimes i find other people talking about their struggles & blessings, with their kids difficult, especially the girls & if i can relate. I get vivid movie runs of memories in my mind as we speak and sometimes it hits me hard - the loss. Out of the blue. Its not fair. My son's partner is not friendly toward me really - didn't even open the card attached to the fondu gift - just said "oh cool" and put it to one side. Wish she was as inclusive with me as my my boy is with her family. But maybe I'm not perceiving things accurately there re 'blackdog' lenses. Just have to not overthink it all, but my heart, my heart still feels.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Big hugs @Former-Member 💜🌷💜

Wish I was there to give you a cuddle .... virtual ones will have to do, but at least we have those ....

With your DIL it will take time .... one of my sisters-in-law is from a family who never open gifts in front of the giver .... somehow it's perceived as greedy ..... go figure ... it's a gift !! 😳😜😆  Anyway, I often don't get any feedback at all, or even see the gift in use ..... it takes all sorts ....

I do know they have grown to love and appreciate me, but I was very lonely and unappreciated in this family for a long time.  I was breaking the mould you see .... and that wasn't welcome at the time .... but they have progressively caught on and made their own way out of the places they were stuck in to varying degrees.

Give your DIL time, and gentle caring attention .... she will mature with life experiences too.

💐
