Dear Dad, thank you for your beautiful poem. Your love and your pain is palpable.
You express those feelings so clearly, and your poetry has helped me feel less alone in my grief.
My 58-year-old child is complicit in keeping our family alienated. With his mental illness and with theirs, my bewitched grandchildren continue to ostracize me, taking my great grandchildren with them. The issue is multi-generational, but what would I do if any of them suddenly decided to include me in their lives once again? I, who still love them with all my heart, and who helped raise them, how could I bear to see my beloved grandchildren living such a sick lie and raising their children in a sickening lie?
I do not know how I would be able to handle it.
I have to remember; this is what my Lord has saved me from. And I do remember, most of the time. His peace sustains me. Jesus centers me, once more.
Dear Dad, I pray that your child sees the truth and returns to you. Keep loving your child as only you can and, please, stay grounded in reality. Reality will win, in the end. Thank you.
