This is Shirley's response to her daughter:

***

"It's a painful moment for me as a mother and as someone who values the truth. I'm shocked and heartbroken that my daughter would make statements about me that are virtually all fiction. I've praised her lovingly and truthfully in my own autobiographies. I’m sorry to see such a dishonest, opportunistic effort from my daughter for whom I’ve only ever wanted the best."
Shirley MacLaine

Shirley I feel your pain. I have not seen my oldest daughter and her son for years and they live close to me. I last saw my grand son when he was 10, he is now 18 and my daughter has turned him against the family. Some times it tares me apart but I just cope with it. Right now it seems like everyone is going off the deep end. Lies can hurt bad. Your daughter may some day realize that she too had her lessons in life to learn. We are all learning our lessons. Keep your head up Shirley. (Its easier to hit right now.) HaHa.
We love you. Hang in there.















right now

Shirley-

I am so sorry for what you are going through with this. I can Imagine the pain your daughter just caused you. Don't worry we all know its rubbish to say those things about you. You are a far better person and karma will come back to bite people in the rear eventually. Know that you are loved and I Stand behind you in this no matter what. This book is nothing more than a way for her to make a profit. Comparing you to Joan Crawford was indeed wrong. You have a good pure heart. Your a great person...

Love you

Shirley,
You have my support and love as always. I can't imagine what your daughter's motives for this would be other than financial. I'm sure she will come to regret this one day. I wish you peace at what must be a very trying time.
Love,
Joanne

Lot's of love to you Shirley during such a difficult time.

I am sorry to read about your daughter and the pain it creates in your heart.
My heart goes to both of you who are working out a Karma from past life.
But as my guides used to say the only way to resolve the Karma is by forgiveness and acceptance with Love.

Last year I had a family issue and it was dificult time but truth always comes to the top for all to see sooner or latter. So my situation resolved as I was working on my feelings not to be hurt but to forgive with love. And at times it was not easy but now all has resolved and truth is shining and I am happy that I did not respond with hurt or anger towards my family members.

Shirley you can allways replay to acusations and write another book, show your side of the picture but paint this picture with love, forgivness and accepance. This Prayer helped me during my chalenge last year hope it will inspire you.

I don't think genuineness, a fine sense of humour, a big heart and a caring soul can be faked. I have read Sageing and I'm Over All That and they resonate in my heart as true. I like the idea of writing a candid and positive book about your relationship with your daughter. But it's up to you. Your reply already shows maturity and love.

Love to you Shirley, and also to your daughter! You both need a big hug at this time.

Love is everything,
Steven.

So sorry Shirley that you have to go through this, my heart was broken when I saw your daughter on the tv and realized that it must have brought you so much pain, definitely in your heart too. Nothing hurts as much as when your child does things that knowingly hurt you, its a real knife to the heart. I have a sometimes troubled relationship with my daughter, and I do my best to manage it but sometimes it is so difficult its hard to see through the hurt and come out the end. The only explanation I can find and I have searched high and low for the reasons behind these troubling relationships, is chinese astrology. The animal system describes the particular personality traits of persons relating to their times of birth. The prevailing energy at that time. I believe this to be the most accurate form of astrology and it goes back thousands of years. Like a snake will not get along with a chicken, that kind of thing. I am a generally mellow, kind, caring kind of person as I have had a tough upbringing, but for some reason my daughter just is very difficult at times. She even is friends with her friends mothers on facebook, but not me. And even lied to me for two years about being on there. Just the fact that I realised she can be a liar so easily troubled me.
But I know one thing, we live in very difficult times, our industrialized world, together with wars, violence everywhere, sexually suggestive tv shows, sexualization of women in media, illnesses and poor food choices have all got us to where we are today. It will take a lot of effort and a lot of inner calmness for us to get through our trials and tribulations. I wish the best for you. I will be using the Buddhist prayer above too, you should try it.
