- Go to The Grinch Is Giving Back Christmas
Lady K, You are very rich in Love, the type of sincere pure real love,
the type that counts most of all. It sounds that you have raised your children to become adults with honor and integrity with good solid souls.
It's never too late to say Merry Christmas, so...Merry Christmas!

YOU ARE A SUCCESS!!
sometimes my kids had french fries for breakfast - or we had to make up their Halloween costumes from scratch. When my youngest was born i went through a terrible depression - and my oldest daughter became the mother figure. any time you want to talk just e-mail me. there is light at the end of the tunnel luncinda - kathy.

You know, that story was so touching.. I know from my own eperience with men, my children's father is a dead beet dad and l struggled single parenting after the abusive marriage with a mental disability and there were many times that my children could NOT count on me for the basics but they learned and wanted to know more and more until they knew ME and I do have my own company now, my revenue is not always solid but to me I am a success because I have overcame great odds and I AM THE ONE who cares for what my children need, want and dream of and I am so blessed that they too appreciate me.

That sounds so wonderful and heartwarming. After reading the comments
I cannot help but wanting to be in such a situation where my kids return some love and respect and show how much they appreciate me. At the moment I feel like a slavedriver and jumps up for anything they want and nothing I do is appreciated. I need a hug....

I "single parented" as well and it wasn't until my daughter was 20 that she finally thanked me - actually thanked me - for all that I done for her (deadbeat Dad in the picture). She now values my advise, genuinely enjoys my company, and has forgiven me for all my shortcoming (or the shortcomings I thought I had). When our children return our love or acknowledge the rocky path we endured it's hard not to shed a tear of joy.

we had many tears and group hugs last night
and i am calling my son back and telling him what an inspiration he was to me. my son is a christian and his thoughts and prayers really made a difference for me. now i kind of get the "real meaning of Xmas".

lady, your tenderness toward your children is beautiful...and I know you've
endured a lot of pain for the sake of love and your kids. If you're like me, you wish you could snap your fingers and make everything good with people, especially those you love; your kids, certain friends, etc. Wish I had that power to do that for you right now.

sorry to hear that bel - my parents ignored me
and never said i love you - so i wanted my children to always feel loved. i wasn't the best role model all of the time - foul-mouthed and partying. but my son told me last night that none of that mattered to him - i was always there. he did mention though that if he is ever nominated for an academy award he is going to duct tape me to a chair in a nearby hotel - give me a kiss Russell Crowe!!!!! Not a good red carpet person!!

Christmas isn't about stuff
it's about the love you and your children share. I would give anything to have a mother that put me or my siblings first even once.

i hope it was a good moment for you
people make mistakes in life - all i ever wanted was honesty. I made the choice to have my children and sacrifice certain things while others were out "having fun". to tell you the truth - that is probably why i lived this long.

It's really painful and sad to face such circumstances in life .
I have had my share of problems in life which somewhat similar to yours but not that painful as yours . I was a man and could do what I liked . You have touched my heart and reminded me of my children from the first wife .
