  In the best of cases breaking up is hard to do. When for reasons that still baffle, the vitriol takes on a level so toxic as to be harmful to one's health, well what to do? I received this yesterday:

What does one say to that? I have a lovely relationship with my son, we are very close and he is my rock. My daughters are more tricky. Those who know me are aware that I was my grandson, Rory's caregiver for his first year and a half and what a joy and honor it was. Such a blessing to watch that little soul grow and change from baby to toddler.

  However, when this ugly business started last Summer sides were drawn and no amount of tears or words can change that. I am out of my element. As hard as my childhood was, as much as I have overcome, I have never dealt with an individual such as this. 

  My son say to ignore it. As a mother that is hard. We ache for our children when they struggle or when we are at odds, I cannot turn that off. 

  It was my youngest daughter I wrote about last. The one who insisted on taking me to my appointment with the hema/Onc Clinic. It was sickening today to learn that when she left his office she went to call this man who has caused so much pain. He was all too happy to share that with me. 

  There are others he has fostered on me, coming with the mask of friend, when in reality they are extensions of him and his cruel plans. I am setting this here for a purpose, actually for two. Firstly,to show the truth and secondly, to say stop it. Stop pushing and poking me. 

  He indeed said it would be best if I killed myself and I know now he means it. I am holding on by faith and by looking back over my shoulder and saying "I have come too far." 

All I ask is that you leave me be. I do not need pity or sympathy or anything else. Do not come to my door as friend when you are anything but. Because no matter the excuse you give yourself, your actions are your own and they define you don't use me as your excuse. I wish you peace and I pray that you never have to go through anything like this. It is going to make a hell of a story though.
