When Adam and I got together, his mom took me under her wing. She took me shopping. Taught me about makeup. Taught me about life. Stuff that my own mom didn't know about. Yes, my mom was a little jealous at first but she began to like the idea that *I* had someone that loved me too and wanted to give me the things that she couldn't. I think that my mom is really happy that I get along so well with his mom because she had such an awful relationship with my dad's mom. We are all tight now. Actually my mom lives next door to me. She rents a little apartment from Adam's mom. I know that not everything is the same but just be happy. You know and like my mom knows, you are her mother and his grandmother and nothing will ever change that bond.<BR/><BR/>love ya!<BR/>*hugs*Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17204364995075643954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22359497.post-42201687634254653712008-12-18T07:47:00.000-05:002008-12-18T07:47:00.000-05:00If you don't have a blog to rant on, where would y...If you don't have a blog to rant on, where would you?<BR/><BR/>While reading the whole post in my mind was what you said near the end ... "things" are given in that family instead of love. It happens in my family, but they try to disguise togetherness with gift giving. It took me a while to come to that realization and have the balls to say so.<BR/><BR/>That was the most difficult thing to do and the best decision I ever made. This holiday season I will be visiting shut-ins and there will be no gift giving. Some of my family is not happy with that.
