ambushed the Mom that disowned me!

[Earth Momma]

In a previous post I explained how my Mom felt as though we lied to her about our birth and she disowned us..........So Saturday we showed up for a visist......

she lives 2.5 hours away and we had to go there for business so we decided to just show up. Honestly I was nervous about this so I made DH knock on the door holding the newborn while the other kids and I stayed in the car waiting for a signal. He waved us in (she had company which served as a buffer). When I walked in she was holding the baby and "in love". We stayed for a few hours, nothing further was discussed and it seems like everything is "ok".

I remember reading the other thread on this and I think you are amazing and awesome for making the first move to reconcile.

babies have supernatural, divine powers. seriously, i don't know how those little bodies even manage to contain them.

i'm glad it's workin out.

I'm sick today and reading posts on my phone. This thread gave me such an inspired warm feeling. You rock!!

Kudos ... glad it worked out. I'm sure it took a lot of courage to do what you did.

supercool. Yep, magic abounds in babies for sure. Good move, sending baby to the door w/dh...and fabulous timing, her having company-- to keep her on her manners while she had a few moments in which to fall in love!

Dd was the reason for reconciliation between me and my sister and my mother and sister, if it had not been for dd's birth at that specific time who knows what would have happened... there was a lot riding on our relationship being fixed too, ds and my nephew are 9 weeks apart and have been together since birth, my sister took off leaving my mother and I to raise my nephew till he was 4 when she decided to take him back without allowing time to rebuild a new relationship with him, then she kept us from seeing him for 3 months during which time my ds became depressed, there was a lot of anger and pain there and it yet we all wiped the slate clean because dd came along... little blessings for sure.

that is fantastic! we had a pretty uch similar situation with my MIL when we got married, and she really was not talking to us, then when we told her we were expecting her first grandbaby, everything changed and has been great ever since!
