[DCMomLady]

Well, I am both hurt and offended that my daughter's birthmom doesn't even call to see how we're doing. My calls to her were met with such (apparent) disinterest that I finally offered to keep quiet until she asked for an update -- and she never has.

In my case, it's not just my daughter who sadly lost contact with her bmother; I lost my niece and my sister, too. Here I am raising her child (a new mother at the age of 50!) and I find myself without any family support. And somewhere on the way to this lonely place, I became the villain of the story and not the angel who said yes to their pleas for my help.

I don't understand. I can't understand. How do they turn their backs on this beautiful child and head on down the road without looking back? And what am I to tell my daughter?
