I think you were right to cut her out of your life, but I still get wanting to have a "granny" around. Maybe you can adopt a grandma at the local retirement home. I'll bet there's a granny out there missing her grandkids, too.MamaRabiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05920088809395312943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1246675223518182656.post-6262473936239513212015-06-08T16:31:52.766-04:002015-06-08T16:31:52.766-04:00That's terrible.

I was just talking about this similar thing with some mom friends this morning and it is something real and present as we are raising our own children. Thank you for writing such a heart-felt and personal post and sharing it with the world. I am so glad you are brave enough to stand up for yourself, even if it was years in the making.Small Talk Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03048294855925845570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1246675223518182656.post-5485023789554247432015-06-06T09:23:08.380-04:002015-06-06T09:23:08.380-04:00You made the smartest decision you could cutting t...You made the smartest decision you could cutting them out of your life, but it's sad that you had to make that decision in the first place. I will never understand some people's obsession with the exterior. My boss is one such person, she complains all the time that middle age has left her with an extra 10 pounds of weight she can't lose, even though she is still incredibly skinny, and recently she blasted her close friend, because she's gaining weight right now, mainly because apart from being a successful lawyer she's also caring for a husband who is dying of mesothelioma, and they have a little boy together who needs caring for. Certainly her weight is the last thing she should be worrying about right now, but my boss can't seem to see that. It just makes me sad.singlemumplusonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051328458409204822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1246675223518182656.post-28007280728043495202015-06-05T22:10:59.504-04:002015-06-05T22:10:59.504-04:00How sad they were caught up in superficial appeara...How sad they were caught up in superficial appearances and could not see someone's true worth was not defined by their looks. <br /><br />It is hard to cut ties but you did so for so you could have a healthy life. Kudos to you.<br /><br />You can always borrow my mom for a grandmother figure-a lot of my friends do. Be warned-she likes to hug, laugh, swear, shoot the crap, allthings scifi and cooking too much 😉http://sparklyjenn.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/13009219818894631938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1246675223518182656.post-30556060065687189722015-06-05T20:12:49.606-04:002015-06-05T20:12:49.606-04:00HUGS!!!!

She died from kidney failure a few years back, but I was lucky enough to have her in my life for a short time and have a tattoo on one arm to honor her. She was a fantastic lady and I miss her every day.

Life if tough enough, if those closest to you cannot support you, they're just adding to the stress. I know you have regrets, but I think you made the right choice.Karen @Baking In A Tornadohttp://www.bakinginatornado.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1246675223518182656.post-2738520994592445812015-06-05T11:10:29.909-04:002015-06-05T11:10:29.909-04:00((HUGS)) I am so sorry.
