Thank you both for your kind words.

I wish I could go back in time. Communicate more effectively my needs and be sensitive to the couple during their transitional period as well.

I burnt the bridge long time ago by raging against a-mom and all the things I dealt with behind closed doors. I raged with no remorse-and frankly am red faced at how adamant I was in trying to expose this woman for all the hurt she caused(all the lies she told,all the facts she purposely distorted). In the end, it did me absolutely no good,and just gave her 'proof' to others how bad I was!

I guess to answer your question Jackie, My ego can take a shoot kicking,but my heart just wouldn't be able to handle dealing with the couple's personality types.I just can't open myself up after all the hurt in the past to trust them again regardless of everyone's good intentions. It's just like a couple who get together and they're good people alone,but bring them to one another and they become Gremlins:

I started this post as a way to let out everything I've felt in the past in order to let go a lot of the guilt and shame I've felt with this circumstance. As a pretty private person myself,I don't want to force a friendship where there is none. I want my daughter and her current family to live a normal life without my intrusion and expectations.

I may be stubborn,but I'm patient. I will wait until my daughter is older to contact her and put things in her hands. I will open up a venue for us to talk and possibly get to know each other

Psst,sorry for the late response,I just got my strength back from dealing with food poisoning!
