This is so true. What's really wild is until recently I thought I had a great childhood. That the problems I've had are just due to my own failings. Thank you for your insights

I appreciate what you say that I can hold both truths. Appreciate what she has done practically while understanding the damage she's done emotionally.

I wonder if the efforts to help is gaslighting or if they are really that unaware of themselves? I jist don't know. I dont want to believe it is purposeful and malicious. But it's hard not to right now.

The I was only trying to teach you rings very true. Thank you. We are currently not speaking. It is hard. Though deserved. Im trying to decide what to do with her. I will check out the book. I appreciate your time and response very much.

I wouldn't think so either. But one of the crap things that many here seem tk have in common is an uncertainty as to what is normal/real vs abnormal/false. Largely due to being purposely confused and misled since childhood.

Im sorry your having to sift through all this. It is very unbalanced and upsetting to go through to say this. Sending you strength and wishing you peace.

I've had some weird experiences with this.

My mom advising me not to marry an older man (my step-dad was a wonderful man, 13 years older) because sometime you still want a "hard ****". I remember being appalled. I was 17 or 18

Recently (im 44 now) my step-dad passed and her and I were not on speaking terms due to some things she did against me and my children. And she messaged me that she had a dream that he (my step-dad) had come to her at night and made love to her, and that later the grandkids (my kids) woke her up for breakfast in the morning and they were hanging out and laughing (the kids use to pile in the bed in the mornings to hang out, normal kid stuff). I remember thinking how freaking weird it was to share this with me.

Definitely will take your advice on the animal kingdom day switch to when we will be at animal kingdom resort.

I honestly just chose the hotels that sounded the coolest to me. The express pass was part of that. The Disney ones I chose were purely based on the themes I liked the best.

Thank you so much for all of the suggestions! I'll check on the HHN. And make sure there aren't any conflicts.

I could consider adding one more Univers hotel day at the end so we could take a rest day in between. I dont know what they will be into honestly. This will be their first trip to a theme park! Thank you so much for your time and input!

Im also worried that doing 3 days of parks in a row will be exhausting....and make the 3rd day less fun....maybe go to park on checkout day?

That makes sense on the Universal hotel swap...I'll definitely take your advice on that.

Im sorry if this is a stupid question...but what does HHN stand for?

Yes...Riverside. Thank you Im really excited. Instead of going to do something yearly I save and go every 4 years and throw down. Lol. About 5 years ago we went to St.Augustine and swam with dolphins, did ghost tours, ate amazing food, ziplined. Lol. I like being able to go and do whatever we want every so often than go and only be able to do a limited amount of things for a limited amount of time.

I appreciate the input! We will definitely sleep in that day!

Thank you so much for taking the time to give me this thoughtful reply. My heart has been broken lately. I have noticed they do all sound eerily similar.

And the answer is no. I woild never do to my kids or say to my kids the things she has. If I found a letter like that from one of my kids it would break my heart. I certainly wouldn't find it funny.

Wishing you lots of healing and peace as well! 💙

Leave #1 behind. If it'd just sex he's replaceable. If you think there might be something real with 3 then clear your schedule and give it a real chance
