[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 638725"] Take it momemt by moment. You naturally have a million questions swirling in your head and a lot of decisions looming. Just deal with the immediate needs. Try not to get or think too far ahead. I know that I like to have contingency plans - usually Plans A thru Z. Always thinking "what if", "what's next" "how will I"? etc. I have to say that for all of my contigency planning- I've never had the future unfold the way I planned it would. You are so mad at her and you should be- she deserves your ire. But I also know that your anger is rooted in love and concern for your beloved daughter. I want to tell your mommy heart that her relapse does not mean the 19 months sober are wasted or don't have value. They do. She may draw on that time sooner or even later. Take it one step at a time. Getting the baby a place to sleep and his 1 year old shots and temporary guardianship is a lot to do. The other decisions can wait and the answer will be clearer once the time comes to decide. You can't solve this like a superhero or Olivia Pope- no one can see that far ahead. Please take good care of yourself. It's a lot - the emotional upheaval plus the demands of a 1 year old. I send you lots of love and support and I think you are an amazing mom, grandma & a strong woman. Xoxo [/QUOTE]
