At Uni my father disowned me and cut my from their will because I was in a relationship with a man that he did not approve of. Long black hair, piercings, leather pants - oh my. He was my dreams come true (at that point at least!) and my fathers nightmare. It took a year, after the relationship ended, for my parents to really start talking to me again and for us to be able to heal the wounds that had been created. I learnt a lot from that experience. And despite the healing, the scars remain and my faith in the solidarity of my family has not returned. I swear never to treat my children in this way.<br /><br />Wishing you and Sam every happiness. xxChristina Lowryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18370046598325657449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4555892494935281802.post-36603631145961101462013-10-20T22:50:46.128+10:002013-10-20T22:50:46.128+10:00I came to terms with how things panned out a long ...I came to terms with how things panned out a long time ago, perhaps even before it all occurred as I knew the reaction I would receive.<br /> I just hope my past pain can help someone else to realise that it really does get better, love heals all wounds.
