[QUOTE="Snow White, post: 701484, member: 355"] I have always hated the court process....the stress build-up and then the temporary let-down and frustration when postponements occur. I'm sorry that you are going through this. MOF has a good point - I'm hoping that maybe the new medications might kick in for your daughter over the next while and maybe by the next court appearance she will be in a better state. I was just re-reading some of the posts in this thread: Just a few weeks ago, our daughter wrote the exact same thing in a long-winded email to me - she accused me of always trying to "fix" her. I like to think that we have always allowed her to embrace her individualism - she has so many wonderful talents. What I have wanted for some time is for her to access some "tools" to help her with everyday dilemmas she so often faces. What those tools are is up to her to agree to. Those tools do not include self-medication, abusive and risk-taking behaviour, etc. while living in our house. She just doesn't see that yet. This forum continues to challenge me by bringing out things I have been trying to forget (or just push into the back of my mind). Like you, I've been physically assaulted along with numerous death threats. The assault was the last time she was able to live in our house. I replayed that day for months after it happened. New Leaf is right - you will go through the phases of longing over holidays, birthdays and other special events. That is inevitable. But keep in mind that if things to back to the way they were, all of these events (and all the other days) will not be peaceful, as you will always be on 'pins and needles' waiting for something to happen. Try to enjoy this time and plan for some self-healing. Hugs and prayers extended to you, Tandemdame. [/QUOTE]
