Jackie, great news about your bson! I too spent 3 hours digging myself out of the house. I've been keeping the birdfeeder full (the cardinals, mourning doves and a very loud blue jay have relied on me all winter). The snow is so deep the squirrels can stand on the snow and eat straight out of the feeder! Little bums but I'm feeling generous as they have to eat too. I've stocked up as well. I'm not sure if there is another storm coming but my holiday is this week so I'm hoping not. I would love it if spring arrived while I was gone!
mariarippy - (((hugs))) I had to get over feelings of humiliation, guilt and shame when my bson first contacted me (even though I was ecstatic and hopeful that he would come searching for me). I soon realized that it was what others had said about me that made me feel badly about myself. As a young girl I internalized everything but now, I realize that I can decide whose opinion I should consider and pay attention to and those whose really don't matter. For me, they are my children - all of them. Even my family, including my husband (bdad) cannot influence my decision to maintain contact with my bson and to help foster a relationship with his siblings. I do hope that your bmom can overcome her emotions. Keep true to yourself. Nobody can make you feel uneasy about yourself - only if you let them. IMO she is missing out.
