I'm also from Bucks County where we dance on clouds of spun sugar after group sessions talking about our feelings, so it's sometimes hard to discuss these things with other moms I know between their homemade baby food making and their up-cycling trash into flower pots.

It actually makes me feel a little more accepting of my own mother-daughter situation. I don't have my own children yet, but when I do I'll be task with my own higher level of forgiveness crap. Miss you on Corolla but I'm glad you can continue to inspire here...many thanks!!! Loved this post. It actually makes me feel a little more accepting of my own mother-daughter situation.

This is exactly my story except I have not just a screwed up mom but also a way-to-screwed- up for-his-own-good dad! Am I lucky or waht?? And my fear of messing up my son keeps me awake at night. I know the feeling of "forget about the past" for your kid. Very hard but I would die for my child so I have to forgive this people! Thank you for your honesty Sincerely, Fanny OMG.

Only wish m own son felt the way you did. That WE may not get along, but I AM the grandmother. My granddaughter was 9/13/10 and I have yet to see her or even a picture of her. Bless you for not making your son go through life without his Grandma. Hi Teresa,

Thanks for sharing :) My sister has a similar story regarding a toilet and a bag. When she was in her early twenties she moved into her first place with a friend. When they tried to flush the toilet on their first night in the house, they discovered it wasn't working properly. They called a plumber and he told them he could be out the following afternoon. The next morning, my sister had to go "number two" and was frantically trying to come up with some sort of solution. Eventually her roommate suggested hanging a plastic bag inside the toilet seat and then disposing of the bag in the trash when she was done. This worked well until my sister was standing in her front yard, bag in hand and her new next door neighbor walked over to introduce himself! He was a chatty guy and carried on quiet a conversation before my sister was finally able to make it to the garbage can! She called me shortly thereafter to tell me "I just met my new neighbor, and I was holding a bag of my own poop!" Beautiful and funny story! Thanks for sharing :)
