Broken Bonds, Healing Hearts: March 2017

Happy birthday, B.!

I'm hoping and praying that someday you'll reach out to us, B. For now, at least you'll know that I was thinking of you on your special day. We love you so much!

My story

In 2002, I ended my first marriage and moved into another home with my daughter. My son stayed with his father. Deeply hurt by the divorce, he didn't speak to me for two and a half years. Desperate to reconnect, I tried everything to reach out to him. My son refused my efforts. In December 2004, our relationship began to heal. By the time he graduated from high school in May 2005, we were mother and son again. In 2009, three hurting moms read a post I'd left on WritersWeekly.com in 2003 when I was so needing to talk to someone who understood my pain. Their letters inspired me to write–with my son's permission–our story for Guideposts magazine. The article, "Mom Interrupted," was published in November 2010. Several months later, one of those three mothers–after she asked if she could share our Guideposts story with other hurting parents–inspired me to start this ministry.
