It's good that I waited and smoked it all over. My response shrunk considerably, keeping to the main points without trying to get revenge or hurt them. I could see God's answers to my prayers in the time that I'd allowed to pass. Sunday's sermon at church, even though it didn't seem related, clarified it all. I believe He allowed this to come up yet again so that I may refocus my own priorities, seeking Him first and trusting Him. Even though I thought I'd turned my hurt over to Him, I hadn't, because I hadn't dealt with it on a personal level like I finally am. It's funny how He crafts these things to speak to us. I'm forgiving my parents, myself, and have sought forgiveness from Him for stubbornly clinging to the bitterness that's not grounded in Him.
It's not yet concluded, for I know I'll hear back from them, but I think I'll be able to let this go once and for all no matter what future e-mails or phone calls bring.

So happy to see you're dealing with this so well and seem to have found some peace of mind about it. Hopefully, it will all work out in the end.
I agree with Deb about not being able to see children. It's driving me nuts that I haven't been able to see Claudea yet and haven't seen Andie in ages.

Time invested in improving ourselves cuts down on time disapproving of others.

It drives me crazy not seeing my grandkids more than 3 times a year. With both families living out of state, it is hard to go visit. They grow up so fast and I miss so much.
