How could I ignore it?

So the other day I read my ex sister in laws blog. I just wanted to see how the girls were doing. It has been a long time since any of us have seen them. In there she says" We are going on 6 weeks where Pj hasn't come and taken Bethanie and Hell forget about Brooklynn...he doesn't even ask about her!
So after seeing that I felt bad, and mad so I commented on her blog and said " I don't know either,all I can say is that we miss the girls. And I feel bad for them. I know it is hard on them."
So I reach out to her(Ex Sister in law) Telling her that all of us want to be a part of the girls lives, even if P.j. is too busy. Thinking that we could all be adults. I am not sure how it will go.
All I know is this when I was a little girl and my parents were divorced I can remember sitting on the front porch waiting for my mom to show up. Not knowing that her and my dad were having problems I just assumed that she didn't want to spend time with me, that I had done something wrong. It tour me apart. I didn't understand it. For years I went with out my bio mom and it affected me. So a big part of me feels for my little nieces. I don't want them to feel that way.
My moms family never reached out to us when we were little. I don't know if it would have even worked out. All I know is that I don't want my nieces to feel like the Freeman's, Redd's, and Ridley's didn't want anything to do with them, because we all do.
I hope it works out and that feelings can be put aside for these little girls, and that we can be honest and be good examples to them.

Good job - trying to step in and let her know that you love those girls and that you miss them! I'm sad for PJ and for his choices at this time - you're right, it's going to hurt those girls - but as long as they know that there is family that loves them - that's a great start!
