My sister and my mom haven't spoken in 8 years. It's messy, but my sister decided to put her kids up for adoption because she was having some drug troubles and didn't think she could provide for them.
"I did what I thought was best - now they have a chance," she says. In her mind, making the decision to give the two boys up was difficult, but
The problem is that my mom takes this all very personally.
"She took my grandbabies away from me, and I can never forgive her, ever," she says, and the anger and in her eyes is geninuine. In her mind, raising a child is the only option - there is no other option, come what may.
Today, they still swear they will never say a word to one another. They speak of one another with such vile that it makes me nauseous; but I keep trying with each of them, explaining the other's point of view.
Now the old woman is getting sicker and it isn't looking good. What can I do to change it before it's too late?
Like mother, like daughter.
