That is HIS-story. He needs to seek peace from that old relationship and move on. A very good therapist once told me "you cannot control what your parents do or not do...only your reaction to them" and it's true! Don't let this take away from the beautiful name you have chosen for your baby girl! :)Julie and Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08300324052366689241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29418238.post-4726682982994753432008-07-05T20:56:00.000-07:002008-07-05T20:56:00.000-07:00So sorry to read your story.

Your Lynnmarie will be a wonderful child and does not deserve to have unhappiness and unhealthy people in her life and neither do you. The feelings he has are his own distorted ones and he does not have the right to put them on you. I'll be praying for him, but mostly for you and your happiness..

I don't know if it is any consolation, but my in-laws pretty much told us they won't be a part of Sophie's life because not only is she not biologically related to them, but she is of a different race. All I can say is that it's their loss. I am hoping they change their minds when she comes home but I can't make them love her. It saddens me the conversations we will have to have as Sophie gets older, but it is out of my hands. Perhaps he will change his mind when he sees her sweet face. I hope that's the case. For both of us.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17310806020847827430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29418238.post-20268623618494718152008-07-05T10:08:00.000-07:002008-07-05T10:08:00.000-07:00The name reminds him of what he did.
