[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 568741, member: 1233"] This is just wonderful. Totally, absolutely and amazingly wonderful! I don't know exactly what turned Katie around so that she turned her kids around, but it is awesome! It may very well be that having her sisters chew her out and having the family still reach out made her want something more. It also could be that her father's death spurred her to make changes. Part of it may very well be your love for her even when angry, esp when angry. many of our kids take a while to realize that getting angry at them means we love them enough to care what they do. Is is possible that she truly expected for you and her siblings to turn your backs on her after her dad died? I have known kids who grew up in step families that believed the stepparent only was nice/loving because they had to be, and that if their bio parent died then they would be tossed out of the family. Maybe having you all still care and try to reach out made a big difference and helped her see that she is worthy of respect and decent treatment. Just a thought. Whatever happened, in my opinion it is amazing to have such a wonderful change! [/QUOTE]
