[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 220242, member: 831"] Bran, (((hugs))) I'm so sorry for all of your pain, but you being a crumbling nervous wreck is not going to help her, you, or your family. I'm sure someone has mentioned that perhaps you might need some sort of medication (if not already) to help steady yourself. If not, I am mentioning it now. Falling apart is not going to help: 1. difficult child getting off the streets. 2. Her being cooperative in getting help. 3. Keep her from being possibly arrested and put in jail (again). This is the time to gather yourself up (I know, SO MUCH EASIER said than done), dust yourself off, and take care of yourself and your son. Help difficult child, but not at the price of your emotional welfare (again, much easier said than done). You need to detach. That doesn't mean not trying to find her and calling the police when you get information. It doesn't mean giving up on her. For me, it means not allowing difficult children actions to keep you spiraling down into an emotional mud puddle. I write this with respect and concern for you and difficult child. It must be devastating to have someone talk about your child that way, but difficult child is in the drivers seat and you are really limited to what you can do for her. I am sending positive vibes your way that difficult child is safe. [/QUOTE]
