My Living Nightmare

My children have finally been able to come home for the first time in almost 5 yrs. Well at least 2 of them. Even though they are only here for about 3 days it is a wish and a prayer come true. I really feel that my children and I needed this so that we could heal. Heal the open wounds that have been hurting us for so long. The are so happy to be home, and I am more then happy just to have them here. My daughter who is 15 asked a question this evening. She seen that I had a poster in her brothers room up on the wall with thumb tacks. She said "We can really put posters up?" I replied, "Well they are your rooms." My son just looked at me and said really mom? Thanks and gave me a big hug. My daughter informed me that thier rooms at the grandparents house is not their rooms. That their bedrooms belong to all the grandchildren. It really bothers me that the people that should love them with no strings attached really don't. My children are just a paycheck to their grandparents and that saddens me. But at least we have these few days as a family.
