Linda,
You did everything absolutely perfect for someone who was put into crisis mode, alone, and under the pressure of trying to figure out where her daughter was. I am so VERY proud of you. Just brilliantly handled lady.
As far as KT? Well, she made her choices, and now has her consequences. Not much more she could expect than what she'll get. I don't know if I'm glad or icked that you got to hear every detail - but I'm glad she trusts you enough to share. Trust is good. too much information - ehh? Well - whatever. lol.
Sometimes these kids pull these bone-headed stunts and it just makes your hands tied. MOST of these stunts are what made Dude grow up. Once we said "It's out of our hands - your choices got you here." He really had no one to blame BUT himself. I stopped being the scapegoat.
Sending you hugs.
