Acknowledgments

Theres one word in my life now that keeps coming back to hurt me...and that is 'acknowledge'. My 2 daughter's have decided that they need acknowledgment from me that their brother talks to them like dirt. It's not good enough that I have said that he has talked to everyone like that in the past...they want individual acknowledgment for this from me.

This is a hard one for me. I have never been acknowledged for my birth by my birth family. So of course I have to learn how to do this for my children. Acknowledgment is not something I have ever received so I'm not sure how it works. Does it really make a person feel better. I wouldn't know, I've never felt 'better'. It's probably what some could say should be on their bucket list.

Maybe for Christmas I can be acknowledged by someone for my pain and then I can move onto a 'better' place.
