[QUOTE="jeanne in CA, post: 628255, member: 18036"] Nancy, what an awful story and a tragic ending for your friend's family. It is simply unbelieveable what people will do. We have been trying really hard not to allow this situation to affect our health but even that is not easy. My husband is better than I am at that but I am equally determined that our daughter will not take any more from us. We are gradually just starting to rebuild but even now it is an endless stream of attorney stuff, bankruptcy stuff, and police stuff. Seems like it will not end for quite a while so we are trying to stay grounded and healthy in the meantime. Yours is good advice, I will do exactly that. Thank you for your kind words, sharing your friend's story, and your prayers. Recovering enabler, I intend to talk to the police about the issue of a do not contact order or restraining order. I believe that we should be treated like any other victims of a crime where the alleged perpetrator knows who the accusing party is and we should be afforded some type of protection against retaliation. After all, she will know immediately who filed the complaints with the police and given the fact that we have no idea what she is capable of, they should be able to warn her to keep away. The psychiatrist said he does not believe, based on the extensive history I have given him, that she is prone to actual violence but beyond that, I simply do not want her showing up here and getting her dad and me all in an uproar with what would certainly be high drama. We have been put through enough. She sent my cousin another picture of her new baby boy yesterday. No text or message, just the picture. I think she would love for us to break down and contact her. She is dreaming. In the meantime, my heart is broken about that baby. As for the PTSD issue, I wholeheartedly agree with the assessment. Everything I have read reinforces that, and I believe from my own experience that it will take a very long time to actually recover, and even then, we are fundamentally changed from the people we used to be. I have found recently, since there is less for me to do in terms of providing information to the police, that I have bouts of depression and tears. I have no doubt at all that it is just the gradual let down from all the frantic activity of the past year. Keeping busy has been a salvation and I think now it may be time to let the feelings come little at a time. I have to admit, I would rather not. I remain so thankful for everyones support here. I was a little reluctant at first and thought perhaps I might get some posts from people who would either condemn my husband and me for our stance or at a minimum tell us that her actions are not her fault and that we should look on her forehead for the mark of Satan! Thank you all so much. [/QUOTE]
