@Appleblossom here for you Ms. I've got something to write but it's going to take me a little while to write and I'm still trying to work it out.
About 3 weeks ago, my next door neighbour and friend got a visit from her daughter and partner and her 3 graddchildren My husband and me were over the moon for her, her life has been significantly bad ...she has nothing in her flat except the bare neccessaties because people borrow things from her. and never bring them back. Once I gave her an expensive glass frog I got from a store and that night, someone borrowed it from her.....
I could go on. I offered to tutor her oldest Grandchild because she didnt turn up for the first week for school, my hub, bought her toys and made the family a meal one night. We were there for our neighbour because we knew that it was a very wonderful thing for her but the daughter...with no notice...........she just arrived! She hadn't seen her daughter in over 10 years! We were concerned with no space for 3 children .....her daughter didnt even have her Health care card to enrol her daughter in school or any nappies for her youngest daughter.
Then....my husband met the husband of the daughter. I was horrified. He told him to go.... ...he told him he was a bully and taking advantage of our friend. The young husband is crything to my husband but he left.
What was that?? They are illegal substances users says my husband. You and me are banned from having anything to do with them but we have to be more available to our friend.
So, we are inviting her downstairs and with much prompting and many hours of listening to her......we saw our neighbor and friend get a relationship with her daughter. We saw her take her to Community Services and present her in knowledge how much support she really needed.
We saw our friend get a wonderful healing relationship with her granddaughters and one grandson.....no illusions and tell her daughter with no agenda words like. I love you but you l... to me because you are a dr..... add......
Her life has slowly creaked to the positive, It's going to be hard for her but she has had two weeks with her daughter and her grandchildren and saw her speak to her daughter with .......very prompted by me......no agenda.
It was .....wonderful to see my friend get a little healing in her life
