[QUOTE="LeaMac, post: 728773, member: 22385"] “Somewhere”- you have said what I was trying to push to the back of my mind. By suggesting the bus/ train option to her, which would be inconvenient and long, I guess I was hoping she would do it, which would show her resolve to do whatever it took to get the baby. But, of course, she is 28 and could easily have figured out public transport on her own. After all, she figured out how to get heroin time and again. Also she has food and cigarettes- if she can get to a store, then why not a bus stop? Maybe I am not as detached as I think. When I think of this situation, I imagine her broken-hearted and desperate to see the baby, as I would be. But the fact is I don’t really know her anymore. Your comment about helping her pretend struck a chord too, bcz as I was trying to help her arrange this I thought, “Why am I doing this? If she can’t or is t willing to figure this out herself, how can she care for a baby? and take him where- to a trailer with some stranger where there’s not even money for gas? Thanks for your objectivity and frankness. It’s helping me to keep on track. [/QUOTE]
