I don't think any of us wants to be bitter, but it happens to the best of us. I hope things start to look up soon so you can reconnect with the gentler part of yourself.Darylhttp://soonafamily.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-83632053244102016882012-08-24T21:52:19.603-07:002012-08-24T21:52:19.603-07:00Visiting for ICLW.

But I'm hoping that peace can replace the bitterness for you somewhere along the way. I'm so sorry for this hard road you've had to travel down. So very sorry. But I'm wishing you good things in the near future. Good luck with the adoption process!Cassie Dashhttp://waitingtoexpand.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-56718096638309238442012-08-23T21:15:03.158-07:002012-08-23T21:15:03.158-07:00Sorry sweetie.

You have the right to feel this way Cristy, you have gone through a lot the past 2 years. I'm glad therapy is helping you. I think of you often and I hope you find your way through this mess. You are a strong amazing woman and I know you are going to be an amazing mom one day.Trishahttp://theelusivesecondline.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-530300188797496172012-08-23T12:34:41.349-07:002012-08-23T12:34:41.349-07:00We are always so naive when we first try.

I've learned a lot with my journey and made some blogger friends who keep in check. What I want isn't what I'm going to get it looks as though but maybe I'll appreciate what I've got around me instead.

When you've experienced life as you have, you need to alter that framework because... things aren't black and white anymore. I've been thinking about you a lot the last few days. I always do, but the last few more than most.
