The other sil was the 'chosen' one and i was super sensitive to it. Sounds ridiculous, the family also integrated her family into theirs and didnt do the same with mine, your post just brought it all back. It was over 20 years ago. Funnily that ex sil of mine has contacted me on Facebook! From what i read about you Lynette you loving ways will win the day, just keep trying. What Carol B says is very much what I felt. Good luck. You layout btw is stunning I love the clouds and sun! <br /><br />I hope things sort themselves out for your daughter, again with your loving ways they are bound to.<br /><br />Phew - thats a lot for me!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17266224262968605361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938850319958532977.post-21408237657184246052009-09-16T21:04:38.024+02:002009-09-16T21:04:38.024+02:00First up - love the new blog look & header!
