@Appleblossom,
That's excellent dear Appleblossom for warning and keeping your children off drugs. My child was reared by my mother after i had 5 years of custody and relinquished care due to ill health with the hallucinating. My child was an indulged child and sadly my mother bought her love and loyalty with money. It's hard when my mother does not even encourage my grown up kid to have any contact with me. So far, I have tried to tell everyone my mother has beaten me up and been verbally abusing me for years, but my kid who is 21 has been joined at the hip to my mother and heavily influenced by my mother who buys her friendship and love and affection. She is trying to remain loyal to her Grandmother for money's sake, I feel. And that's hard. And she is trying to say her Gran (who is lying) has never abused me and I'm just plain delusional. When money comes before people. It's really sad. And It's hard because I have the evidence of my mother's abuse with a series of abusive e-mails, which my solicitor friend read and said ' yes, your mother is vicious'. Also abusive sms text messages from my mother. But again, my mother has disparaged me to my kid and now she believes Granny is a saint and I am nothing but fruitcake. Which is not true, because my Psychologists have done a state mental health exam and say i don't suffer delusions and not all the symptoms. But still my mother hides behind a clever veneer and an air of appropriateness and a lot of her friends and family are unaware that she has been cruelly mental abusing me for years behind closed doors. But I continue to try and expose her lies and tell my life story.
I have a good heart for the LOrd and though I may not be able to give much money, I can give love. And love is infinately more valuable than money any day. Teaching my kid about God, love and good values and principles is my perogative.
Just been watching ' The Project' and I normally love my show "Home & Away'. I've been happily listening to Adam Lambert " For your Entertainment.' But I am straight lol.
Much love and blessings to you dear lovely Appleblossom.
