She hasn't done anything all that bad. Our main issue is that I'm Pentecostal.  We don't have that much to talk about and she has her favorites. I have never been one of them.

I can't imagine having a favorite child.  That's heartbreaking.

Just wanted to interject that, but because I had such a great dad it hurts me deeply to see others miss out on such a great experience. It hurts me for my kids!

I think is how my MOTHER felt, she had a wonderful loving dad and to see how Frank acted really really bothered her.
I say at least I had a good mother.

My kids have a great dad and I thoroughly enjoy - absolutely LOVE - to watch my husband be such a wonderful father to our children! One thing good from my past is that I am so determined to make sure my kids have a healthy and happy childhood. When they grow up, I want them to say, "I had the best childhood with wonderful memories."

Bitterness always destroys. Just tonight someone was talking to me about a bitter person and how the person used to be so fun to be around but today there is just a relic of their old self...bitter, hard, unforgiving, cold...is what you feel around them now.

I agree, but does unforgiveness always turn to bitterness?

Renda, unforgiveness is a hanging on disease that grows into something very ugly...been there, girl...
If sincere forgiveness is not granted, in time, bitterness will overtake and choke the life out of a person's spirit.
Perhaps the question to ask is, why do we choose not to forgive?!
It's late and I have a big day ahead of me...

Renda might want to answer for herself, but I think we got to the place of "trust" and "forgiveness". You can forgive, but you don't necessarily have to place all your trust in a person until you are sure about their intentions or motivations.
I think it would be hard to do.
