Son called me out of the blue and apologised!
« on: February 05, 2012, 12:17:13 AM »
In case some have not been reading my post about my young grandaughter being pregnant I decided to post an update on the situation with my DS and his cutting us out of his life a year and a half ago.  He called yesterday and said Momma, I apologise for being mean and saying the things I did, and I was wrong.  As I said in my other post, I thought I was surely dreaming!  We had a GREAT conversation and he thanked me for doing things the way I had because he learned finally that he can be proud of his accomplishments because I did not HAND him everything, he has earned them!  I am glad that he learned what I was trying to teach him...now that's the boy I raised!  He plans to continue a relationship with us now, and he said he does not understand why his wife wants only her family involved and why everything has always had to be her way or no way, but he is changing some things!  He plans to stay with her, but I am thinking due to sad issue with my young grandaughters pregnancy, and other things counseling will be the next step for them...good.  He plans to come to my house next Friday and bring my grandaughters!  He said his wife can come, or she can stay home.  He said he loved us and appreciated all me and my husband have done, and said he knows he has made many mistakes and bad choices and he's learned from that.  Thanks all of you here for allowing me to blab on!  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that things will now improve even past my wildest dreams.  I plan to go pick up a few Valentines goodies for my grandaughters visit next Friday!  I have not seen them for a year and a half, and I have missed them terribly.  I guess it goes to show one can never tell what can happen!  Thanks Luise for this website, I think it has helped keep me fairly sane through this ordeal.  Thanks ladies for the posts and sharing which I feel have helped me to learn to take care of ME, and to learn to detach and look at things in a much different way.  All I can think to say is WOW!!!   lol   Have a most joyous day ladies.   J

Jane - this is wonderful.  There is still a difficult road ahead what with the pregnant granddaughter and a DIL has been difficult in the past, but at least your son now sees things clearly, and that's a great start.  Best wishes to all of you.

Your GD's will be delighted with a Valentine's gift!  I am so glad for you and your family and your granddaughter's will only benefit from having a healthy grandma in their lives.  You inspire me to be strong so I know you'll surely inspire them (and your DS)! 

Warm thoughts to you JaneF.....   :)

You must have done something right if you have a child who can suck up his pride and actually apologize. 

I am so pleased for you!

Once again dear ladies thanks for the responses!  I don't know what I did right so much as knowing I HAVE made many mistakes and did some stuff wrong, but I can be honest and say so!  I did my best given the situations I was in at those particular times. I hope things will go well, but I will definitely make sure to say what my boundaries are if we are to resume a relationship.  I would like to be there for my pregnant grandaughter, but I can only take one day at a time and wait and see.  He sounded very sincere, and I hope this is a new beginning. If it's meant to be it'll be, if things get ugly again I will protect myself and detach once more.  Fingers crossed!  J
