I slept at least eight hours last night, maybe more. My 43rd birthday is a tomorrow. Betrayal, lies, being alienated as a parent. The cold hearted abusive gifts keep on coming!
Still reeling from the news that my daughter has suddenly decided she only wants to live here two days a week and... wait for it...I won't even get to be a weekend Mom, the days Thursday and Friday are her in-school days. She doesn't even want to spend weekends with me. When I got a little teary eyed about it she said "two days are better than none". I choked on my heart then swallowed it. The two lovely nights I had with my daughter were apparently only so I could get that wonderful news. I am terrible at sarcasm hope I am getting it right. Perhaps it was the miracle of sleep but I am starting to have a sense of humor about the whole thing. My bleeding heart, I cannot win at this because I actually have a heart. I can't tell up from down or inside from out and my mother's intuition tells me my daughter can't either. I guess it is time for me to let go and live because I have been grieving for too long. It is never that easy though is it? If I try to hold on to her like I have been it is only going to get worse. Looks like I can finally save my money for a life I have only dreamt of, if I don't die from heartache before it is even possible. After getting vaccinated probably in May going to start planning endless travels with the hubby to soothe my broken heart. I am going to start living my dream instead of being trapped and chained to abusive X so he can use my child against me. Have I mentioned he doesn't even live in her school district? So I can't even move and go live in another cheaper warmer state that doesn't have endless winters. I have arthritis, it sucks.I have to be stuck here for another four years and continue getting stomped on. Sigh.

The daughter will become an adult woman someday and may see the world through different eyes. Stand tall and consolidate your strength around self-worth. You deserve respect and empathy which she may be unable to provide under the current circumstances. She is a victim of parental alienation syndrome... to earn my love you must align with me against your mother. I know. It has happened to me and there is simply nothing that you can do except preserve your dignity. This alone might change her perspective, to no longer see you as a helpless pawn.
