I am being given a second chance

I have two daughters. They are 18 and 16. Back when I had these girls when they were just babies and I screwed up big time and neither one of them would even talk to me let alone forgive me. Well, my oldest child forgave me and we kept in touch but my 16 year old just could not get over the mistakes that I had made. This morning she sent me a message and she has forgiven me for past mistakes and now a whole new world has begun for her and myself. I am so grateful for the second chance to be a mom again. I had a very ugly divorce with the father of my children and my girls were fed a lot of BS about me from him and his family. Now that my girls are older and more mature, they have made their own informed decisions about me. I love my children with all of my heart and it has been very painful and miserable without them in my life. My oldest graduates from high school next month. She has come such a long way in her young life. She is a struggling and recovering heroin addict. My youngest blamed me for her sister's addiction. I am never going to let these two out my life again. My entire life has been such a rollercoaster, struggling with my bipolar disorder and with an ex-husband that just told me I was making up the whole bipolar disorder ordeal. He never did understand me or my disorder and I don't think he ever will. We are several years apart in age, 11 to be exact. I guess what I am getting at here is that when you are given a second chance in this life, please do take it and do your best to make things right. Thank you if you read this and leave any comments at all.

Happy for your good news! Second chances are always great to get :) an I wish your oldest luck it's a hard addiction to break, it can be done just takes the will to do it. So good luck for you and yours

I'm so glad to hear this! :) I'm glad your girls made the decision on their own to forgive you.

Life is too short to be unforgiving, especially to your family. Everyone makes mistakes, no one is perfect! Forgiveness and love can go a long way at helping people get through the toughest of times.

:D :D I'm so happy for you!!

That's awesome to hear. I'm glad you will be able to enjoy your girls.

I could not imagine life without my daughter. I am very happy for you and best wishes! :)
