[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 259056, member: 2315"] Bran, I think not knowing where she is, how she is, etc is worse than anything a parent ever has to deal with. I know because I lived in your shoes. My difficult child was on the streets doing drugs and getting inti trouble for months. How do you shake it? For me it was the Serenity Prayer. I would go over it in my mind whenever the situation overtook my mind and paralyzed me with fear. I would ask myself "Is it in my power to change it?" I would think long and hard and when I realized that I had no control, I would just say a prayer that God take care of my difficult child. I focused on the belief that a higher power is always working for the ultimate good even when that objective was not clear to me. It was all I could do. After a while I relized that it was enough. Unfortunately it is your daughter's journey. You can only do what the legal system will allow as far as incompentancy and/or point the way for her. It is up to her to take the path. I know it sounds trite upon first hearing it but it truly is not. When we can accept the fact that we cannot change things, we then can find a certain peace within the chaos. Do all you can do and then put the rest in your daugher's and her higher power's hands. Then make a conscious effort to continue to live your own life. (((HUGS))) -RM [/QUOTE]
