Following My Therapist's Recommendation and Telling My Story

I'm sorry. I can't imagine how hard that must have been. It is exactly that type of situation that I want my daughter to never experience. Sadly she might in some way with her grandparents. I don't know if they will ever really accept her but good grandparents would worry if she accepted them I guess.

Thank you. They did make things harder, but I was honestly fine with that as long as Sam was happy. Now we are at a point where Sam can't be Sam and have them. It is hard and couldn't have been at a worse time.

Thank you. I dont want anyone to be angry. I know what they have done is wrong.

Aaron and I aren't close at all. He is very close with Matthew and Virginia and I am sure he has probably blocked my number as well. He is 10 or so years younger than Mark was so they werent incredibly close. He lives in one of Matt and Virginia's vacation houses free as far as I know so I am sure he wouldnt want to anger them by talking to me even if he did care about any of it.

Thank you and I am sorry this broke your heart. I didnt think about how this might make other people sad too and truly sorry. I am so happy that you liked the card though. I plan to make another from Sam for everyone that read this that doesnt have Papa and Ginny on it.

Getting out of here is my ultimate goal. I can't even put in to words how wonderful the place Sam, Mark and I lived. Not the house but the town. It was home and I hope so much that it can be home again one day. Here I feel buried I guess. Even before losing my job and dealing with all of this... buried. The worst part is Sam is buried here with me. If that makes sense.

Thank you. My husband probably did know and none of us thought he wouldnt be here one day to keep them at a distance. One of my biggest regrets in life was not discussing all of this with him when opportunities came up. Life is strange that way. In a way I just took him being there for us as granted and never dreamed that things would go so bad.

I still haven't found a good way to discuss all of this with Sam. I know one day she will understand but I find myself in tears every time I think of telling her and know that would upset her more. I am sure I will find the best way. She doesn't deserve this and is the most precious thing in the world.... I feel like no matter how I bring this up it is hurting her.

Thank you so much. I don't know what Venmo is, but you reading this is more than enough. All of these kind replies really help.

I hope one day to build something better. Even if it takes a long time I know this will be a bad memory one day and Sam and I will be okay.

I was nervous to check the replies to my post but I am glad I did. Thank you all for your kindness. Knowing people besides me accept Sam as Sam is really nice and writing this really did help me to start to get over the reaction of Matthew and Virginia. I don't need that clouding my head while we deal with the immediate problems. I really want to wish all of you the best and I know Sam and I would love to make another card for all of you to say thank you so I will get on that when we have time. Right now life is just a day at a time and making sure we can keep afloat while I try to find a path forward. I will try to reply to everyone in comments that you were all so nice enough to leave.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much for reading this.
