[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 155502, member: 84"] Barbara, that was beautifully put. I for one believed at one point that I had reached my ultimate limit with stepgfg, that she had crossed a line there was no coming back from. Even then, it didn't mean that I had stopped loving her. Now that stepgfg is found I've spent many hours thinking long and hard on forgiveness, parental love, and the eternal HOPE we can have for our children. My aunt had told me shortly after stepgfg vanished with the kids and I was so hurt and angry to [B]Never say Never [/B]when it comes to your kids. And all these years later I've come to discover how right she was, and her difficult child was much like stepgfg, the situation very similar. My aunt closed the door on her difficult child when her difficult child was at her worst. Years down the road, her stepgfg cleaned up and turned her life around and my aunt was there when she was ready to come back home and join the family. Six years later, if stepgfg could convince me she is in recovery and has her life back on track I could easily welcome her back with open arms. A parent's love and hope springs eternal. Every parent comes to this cut off point eventually in their own time based on their own experiences. It goes against our nature as parents to simply turn our backs and walk away from a child we've protected, nurtured, and loved for a lifetime. hugs [/QUOTE]
