have proved that this is an appropriate title for my page.
Between "dead
beat dad issues," and other family member issues raising six and seven kids
seems to be a breeze. But I do believe this life is a journey, and we are
constantly learning on this journey, and I'm definitely learning this week.
Don't know if you know, but not only do I have seven kids, I'm one of seven
kids. I've always treated my youngest siblings more like children then siblings
and loved them as such, but maybe that's where I went wrong.
... Now that me and my youngest sister are not getting
along, I kind of feel like a mother who has lost her child. Of course I won't
get into the details, but at this point I'm so upset I will say that it's
because I don't get along with her husband.
I watch this on Dr. Phil, all
the time, where parents don't like their child's spouse, but I have to learn
that it's not for me to like him, it's her that has to like him. And I'm okay
with that. So it's time that I cut the cord. My sister is not my child, she's
grown and can do what she wants. But I can't watch, and don't want to. I'm
sure at this point she's okay with that too.
It's sad when you feel like
you loose a family member, or in my case when it feels like someone has snatched
them away. Just because he wanted a family, he had to come and snatch mine
away, but I digress. The situation really sucks, and I hope that in time, me
and my sister will be okay. But I do know that we can both be very stubborn.
So I will just say to my sister who I loved like a child her whole life,
"Love you, and always will!" But for now, it will be from afar.
