[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 613974, member: 1721"] Oh Recovering, thank you! I am smiling. :O) Actually, things are going really badly. There are some good things, too. Bad things: difficult child daughter is hospitalized. Broken ribs, collapsed lung, possible broken vertebra in neck and back. Domestic assault. Same man. Beating took place Tuesday evening. He brought her to hospital Wednesday afternoon because of the collapsed lung. Said injuries from snowmobile accident. They let him stay with her in the room, pretty much guaranteeing she would not file charges or make any accusations at all. Social worker now involved. Called hospital this afternoon and he is not there, so maybe charges have been pressed. We are making arrangements to collect her from the hospital ourselves when she is discharged, or to have family there take her. She is in Minnesota. We are in Florida. Here is a funny coincidence: husband just sold the car and bought this flashy little Mustang convertible. Not brand new or anything, just a cute little car, strictly for showing off and fooling around in. Definitely not for driving in snow or for tooling around in -30 degree temps we will be driving in if we go up North to collect difficult child daughter ourselves. Oh, how we laughed when we said, "No biggie that it isn't good in snow. We will never be going up North before the snow is gone, again!" Ya. difficult child has no I.D. again, so cannot travel by plane, train, or even, bus. Bad Thing #2 This has to do with my sister. Basically, she is outraged at my telling her what I think she is doing when she is being manipulative. I mean literally outraged. Kind of scary. I am dealing with it beautifully. Can't believe the hostility in her. I will make a separate post on that...but I don't know it has much to do with detachment. It definitely has to do with change, and with developing healthier, more realistic perceptions. So, I will post about it. Good Thing #1 That I am dealing with sister beautifully, though it has been hard to break through my old conditioning. Don't want to rock the boat. Except that lately? I want the waters raging [U]and I like it[/U]. Who knew she was so nasty when she didn't get her way. I mean, extraordinarily nasty. One of the things she FB back after being questioned re: recent possible manipulation: What did you do, have a stroke, that you make things up in your mind and try to blame it on me? Chilling, huh?
