Angry and Bitter

That's how I'm feeling about a certain someone right now. Someone who used to be a huge part of my life and an important part of my kids' lives, but who chose - that's right, chose - to no longer be a part of (most of) my kids' lives about a year or so ago. Someone who volunteered to take on a special role with my kids, and then just when Joey got attached and began having expectations that normally and understandably go along with the role she volunteered for, decided the role was too much for her, c'est la vie, thank you very much. She's caused so much hurt in my family and this weekend it was all brought right back to the surface once again.


But I'm going to be a bigger person and not drag her through the mud (like how I did that?).
