[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 606856, member: 1721"] We have just been through something similar to your situation with your daughter. Our daughter is nearly 40. And though we had been through it again and again, we really had come to believe the bad times were behind us. They weren't. It's been a terrible year. I am glad to hear you say that you are grateful the grandchildren are safe and cherished. When there is so much pain and sadness and unbelievable disappointment, we can actually take strength from knowing the little ones are out of danger once and for all. I liked that you told your daughter you loved her. There has to be strength in that for her. Maybe it will be the thing that helps her realize she is better than to do what she is doing. We never know. I think it's important to tell them the best things about them that we know to be true, to counter whatever it is that is making them troll the gutters the way they do. I am glad to have read your story. I know how much it helps to tell it. I know how unbelievable it seems, when you write it down, and how writing it out counters the shame of it. Our daughter was being beat, too. It's hellish, to know that, and to know there is nothing you can do. I am so sorry this is happening. Cedar [/QUOTE]
