There is hope.....

[msme]

Witchly was waiting at the ball field when gr8Dad arrived with 3 oldest DGD"s for their game. This is about the fourth game she has shown up at but has made no contact with the 2 boys. His DD got out of the car & as witchly opened her arms & smiled, DGD walked up to her & syelled right in her face, "Since you don't go to the boys games, I don't want you to come to anymore of mine."

She then walked away & went to the dugout. She totally ignored her for the whole game. As they were leaving, he told her that she had handled herself well & asked if she had gotten hurt. (She fears the violence from the past) She told him, "No, but she sure gave me a mean look."

She then pointed at them (witchly & her current bf who looks old enough to be her grandfather & is obviously on something) & told her dad that he could run over them & no one would mind. He then told her that wasn't nice & simply because her mother gave her life, there will always be a minimum amount of respect that is do.

Inside, he wanted to stand up & cheer. I guess there is hope after all.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression!

They come around sooner or later.  I am glad she was able to stand up to her mother, it took me 25yrs to.

Hope she continues to grow strong and stand up for herself and brothers more.
