I'm struggling today..

I dont know you at all but im truly sorry about the position you are in. I would have no idea what to do.

Sorry to hear it Steve. I don't think anyone will fault you for feeling whatever it is you feel. My kiddo's relationship with his mother is estranged, as it is with his step mother. He isn't as old or set in his ways, however, I know that call at this point would hurt him greatly.

Whatever you do don't blame yourself for the decision you made. You made it for a good reason at the time, even if that only makes sense to you.

I feel abit sorry for you.... Smile, fucker. . Things will heal with time.

Thanks, Brent. That helps quite a bit knowing that others can relate to the situation.

Exactly. You can't chose your family, but you can chose if you allow them to be a negative influence in your life. I think nearly everyone has at least one family member that fits this description.

Hard to deal with no matter the situation. My Dad died a few days ago, all I can suggest is keep your mind busy with hobbies and work until you can deal better. That seems to be helping.

Sorry to hear it.

That sucks Steve, regardless of the relationship status. According to Facebook you'll begin to miss her, them you'll wish you could see her one more time.

You did what you did for your wife and daughter. They were what was important then and are still here for you now. What is done is done and can not be undone. Over time you will figure out how to deal with your Moms passing. Just deal with what you can for now and make the best peace you can...

Regardless sorry for your loss and I hope you can find a peaceful closure...

Sorry for your loss

Sorry to hear steve.

[Forever_frost]

Thanks everyone. I wasn't exactly looking for any sympathy, just more venting than anything else. They always say talking to a stranger helps most sometimes. Even though you guys are, but aren't..what the fuck ever.

I know how you feel. My prayers man.

My condolences Steve.

Now, I sit here with conflict, confusion or I dunno what else. I haven't spoken to her in many years. I'm trying to remember the good times and it all seems to be a haze because there was so little of it. I didn't exactly win the lottery when it came to parent selection. I know I made the right personal choice seperating myself from a toxic enviorment and not exposing my wife/daughter to it all.
.

I dunno what to tell you. I in the same boat as you are. Ive had to seperat myself from my mother to protect my step kids, wife and now new born boy. Its cause of her I didnt talk to my dad for 12 years. Thank God dad and I put our issues aside and have an awsome relationship now and with my step mom.

But I too think daily on what or how im going to handle the day I get the phone call my mom passes away. I try to look back on things only to see that my life has been so toxic and took me so long to see it and understand why my dad left and cut ties with me. It wasnt all his fault like I was led to believe.

I love my Mom like Im sure you do, but man I feel your pain as it haunts me brother. Hit me up if ya want as I dont know or any other asshole on this site haha
