[QUOTE="Dixies_fire, post: 602016, member: 16184"] I hope at a minimum she stays there till she has leveled out and is ready to get help. No matter how bad it hurt her to hear it she doesn't need the kids right now, she just proved that by trying to run away again. Being a parent isn't a magic wand you are still the person you are when you aren't parenting. For many of us, we up the responsibility level and try to keep life on an even surface- read boring- level. But if you have a head for chaos you will just take the kids through that chaos with you. Sometimes even when you like the peace you can't have it. I'm trying myself to figure out how much the mental health issues combine with who you actually are and then factoring medication into the whole mix. I wish it was an easy answer like 2+2=4, treatment plus medication equals stable adult that can help parent but the mental illness is still there waiting to spring up and drag everyone down. I don't mean to be depressing just some thoughts I've been having. -hugs- glad she is safe. [/QUOTE]
