I have a friend whose mother is kinda acting the same way. my friend's been catching up for lost times with her dad (her mom would bad mouth her dad when she was growing up and my friend believed her mom..now she knows better) . well the mother is getting upset by it and once told her that he's not even her real dad. omg.

then they got in a fight over christmas. her mom sent her a long email telling her that no mother should ever have to hurt the way she hurt her over christmas. and blah blah blah. she would throw in "honey" or "darling" sarcastically. she even told her she was filled with hate and may god have mercy on her soul

i know that doesn't help much, but you are the best thing that ever happened to that girl and just keep that in mind. be thankful she has someone to lean on. even if it isn't her real mother. you are an angel maria

I just don't understand how a mom can do that. I can see where her mom's feelings could be hurt, but then, you have to let a teenager be a teenager. Sam's being a teenager. But she's happy here, and she's doing well here. And she wants to be here. I give her mom credit where credit is due: she was selfless in letting Sam come here and live. And I can see where "empty nest syndrome" has kicked in, but you can't just give your kid the cold shoulder because she's having fun.

Thanks Michelle... sometimes I need to hear that I'm an angel. Or am I a ruthless person who stole another person's daughter?? At this point, I'm not sure. Is this pent up resentment towards me that she's taking out on Sam?? I'm sure there's some there.
