The communication link between my daughter is continuing, much to my delight. Last evening she emailed me a couple of beautiful pictures of her wedding.

I use to dwell on the fact that I was left out of the wedding, the pregnancy, the birth and the first few weeks of my one and only grandchild. I use to resent her father/my ex, for being able to take part in all these life changing events. Especially since he was such a crappy father after the divorce.

I have given all that up now and can acutally enjoy the renewed relationship with my daughter more because of letting go. But, I still resent his presence in her life, but that is my issue.

So I guess this could be classified as a success story. After going through a 12 year long estrangement from my kid, to have her back in my life AND to know that she is ready and willing to forgive me, Yea this is a success story!
