Thank you for your reply. I agree that at some time we need to evaluate our feelings and what really happpened to us back then, and yes get mad. I got mad too. What I'm saying is we don't need to stay in that state of anger and let this whole thing consume us.

I am a Christian and one of the hardest things I've found to do is to forgive those people who made me or at least convinced me that I was unworthy to be her mother, especially when those same people like to come to me now
and remind me. It's hard not to hate them, I know. But hate and continual anger will only bring us down. It will only tear down what I want to accomplish in my life.

I want to be happy and it's hard to be happy if there is someone in my life with whom I'm so angry at that I can't seem to tear away from the anger. So I choose to
forgive them and look forward to better things.

I want contentment in my life. I can't be content if I keep wanting what I can't have.

I want a future with my daughter and I want her to see
a mature, happy, successful, and content woman. I think anger would be seen as negative by her if she does
decide to contact me later.
