Totus Tuus Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 [quote name='BigJon16' timestamp='1322699699' post='2342936'] When a son or daughter moves away, do you dis-own them, just because they have grown up and moved? When a sibling moves away, do you stop calling them "my brother",or "my sister" just because they have moved away and matured in different ways? I wouldn't. I have people who I've "disconnected" with. They have either moved away, or I have lost touch with them because I haven't seen them for a while. But that doesn't mean that I'd "de-friend" them. I never got AudreyGrace a graduation gift, even though I said I would... Sure, I feel bad, but sometimes things like that happen, I guess. I mention this because you mentioned that she said she was going to get you a ring, and then she didn't get you one. You will figure it out, Im sure. If anything, disconnecting with you is her loss, and you shouldn't feel bad. Life goes on. [/quote] Random Facebook friends are not the same thing as sons and daughters are siblings.

fides quarens intellectum Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 [quote name='Deus_te_Amat' timestamp='1322629076' post='2342531'] Well, if you're her son's godmother, I don't see that as an option. You [i]are[/i] responsible for his spiritual development, after all. If you deliberately lose contact, from your choice, that would mean you didn't even try. [/quote] ^wss [quote name='Lil Red' timestamp='1322629394' post='2342538'] i understand what you are saying, and yet...they live in your home state...and it's not like I ever get over there. Plus, the situation is complicated. She divorced her kids' dad, and just got remarried, and I think he has a couple of kids. At best, she is nominally Catholic. At worst, she is agnostic. Literally, I have not seen her son since the day of his baptism. I don't even know him. I don't even know her any more, to be honest. I wouldn't even know where to start with her son, to be a godparent. [/quote] [quote name='Lil Red' timestamp='1323107274' post='2344952'] sadly, there's been no response. [/quote] imo, since you are the godmother of the kid, you're kinda stuck with having to keep trying. My niece is my goddaughter. It's also kinda complicated with them: I haven't spoken to her or heard from her or anyone in that part of my family for years, they don't go to church, and the parents are getting divorced in a few weeks... I keep sending cards and such, though, and i keep praying for my goddaughter and her parents. That's really all I can do, since they just won't return contact. It may be one-sided and extremely frustrating, but i still feel obligated to keep trying b/c i am the godmother. Prayers that your situation turns out better in the future.

Little Flower Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 tough situation... although maybe they just never got around to that, i am horrible about doing that. people email me and i realize a month later (or longer ) that i never got back to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
