[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 392202, member: 84"] You've come a long way that will bring you many hours of peace in the future. But I agree with Star......while it's good to draw the line at what you will and will not do, just remember that circumstances may cause you to change your mind. It doesn't mean you've taken a step backward, it just means you're capable of being realistic and to adjust to different situations. I swore that I would [B]never[/B] let katie stay in my house ever again. I was adamant about it, I meant it with all my heart and soul. Yet a month ago I allowed her and M BOTH to stay in my house for a whole week!! Circumstances. Grands would have been sleeping on the street literally......a 4 yr old, a 9 yr old and a 10 yr old. I did [B]not[/B] do it for either katie or M, even though they'd been helpful and displaying the proper attitude that week, I did do it for the children. The moment they were able to be somewhere else, poof out of my house they went. Am I still hard nosed tough love with katie? You betcha. Such situations do come up..........it's best to consider that so you aren't too hard on yourself if you decided to change where that line in the sand is placed. As for our justice system? There is no "justice" in it, anywhere. You did good. I'm proud of you for not picking up that phone. :happy: [/QUOTE]
