[QUOTE="Star*, post: 246232, member: 4964"] Bran - I think when we get windows of opportunity to "see" our children - the ones that we spend 110% of our time trying to convince the WORLD is IN there? It's a gift. Other parents may or may not take for granted the normalcy of their children. Our gift is that WE know those windows are a gift. With that in mind - Take the visit for what it's worth. A window in time, a place you were able to go to and smile, and remember this normal Mom moment, for fuel to help you help her when the other child comes around. Do I think you should drop the charges (shrug). I've often thought how differently Dude's life would be had nothing regarding jail and court ever happend. But then again I often hear him talking to others and have to think that the threat of going back to jail kicked his butt enough to make him comply as best as he can for a kid with disabilities. Like I said - rejoyce in the window of time - and leave the court thing where it is because - if she really IS scared of going back to jail maybe it will help be a guide line for her behavior. Another thing leaving it alone will do is teach her 100% you can't punch your Mom or anyone else in the face and not have consequences. If she's being a productive member of society - you could hope that she'd turn herself in at some point and say she's tired of running, but could tell a judge - I have a job, a life, I'm not in any more trouble and I'm working on a relationship with my estranged family. Perhaps a judge would look at THAT as progress moreso than anything else. Take it for what it's worth - Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
