My life turned from great to awful and back to good

I did it. I told her what it was like and what happened and I kept it about me only. I emailed her because she is so very good at throwing blame around and I am terrible about stalling out when that happens. I was blamed for so long and I didn't know everything she was told. Her youngest now deceased brother would say horrible things that his dad told him, like I was practicing witchcraft and they might have to go to foster care. He was only 10 at the time of divorce. It was awful. I told her those things as well. Her comment to the email was simply, "I love you." That's OK. I feel so much better for having given her the truth.

@donnacarp How brave you have been through all this! You have shared with her the truth as it is from your place. You should be proud of yourself. Do you feel a sense of lightness or easing of your burdens, now? It will be interesting to see what happens in the relationship between you and your daughter in the near future! Go do something "for you" today!

@donnacarp I applaud you for your bravery in sending a note to your daughter. Do you think she would accept a phone call?
