[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm really sorry.

I understand you're hurt and angry and upset, and it's been building for 10 months.

But think about what you gain by contacting her to say you're not going to contact her.  You gain a release for yourself of the pressure that's been building up for the past ten months.  But at what cost?  Essentially, she has cut you out of her life.

I wonder if there would be anything to be gained by going there - I understand it's far - and collecting anything and everything you may ever want in the future.  Maybe face to face you can have the blow up, say the things you need to say, but get out of there with whatever childhood reminders you want.  I understand wanting old family photos and mementos of your childhood, particularly to share ith your daughter.

Another avenue might be to write her a letter that says all the things you need to say - but don't send it.  Save it, burn it, whatever, just get it out of your head and relieve some of this building pressure you feel?

But really think about what stirring the hornet's nest will get you.  I think the answer is nothing but getting sucked into drama you don't need.  [/quote]
