Hi everyone, resting after a long work day. Two calls from Tornado which I declined to answer. I have decided not to speak with her at work. I am sure she has some choice words for me and no sense hearing that while I am working.
Thank you CTM. It is a relief and strengthens my resolve, for sure.
I have to look at the blessings, however small, they are still there.
That clarity is so important to look for. A glimmer of hope in the darkness of it all.
Thank you Re. I do see the silver linings and am grateful for them. Hugs back at you and many thanks for your being here and sharing your positivity.
I hope so too. Rain always had a soft spot for children. Underneath all of the toughness, she is a beautiful person.
Oh Pasa, the same goes for you. We just have to keep trekking forward, no matter what our wayward kids do.
I feel the same way about jail versus the streets. I am sure there are ways for Tornado to find trouble in there, but she will have to figure that out and make good choices. After a year of free wheeling, and derailing further off the tracks, it must be intensely restricting. I do not think there is any other way to save her from herself. I am sticking to my guns. Not stepping in.
Thank you all for rallying by my side. I am counting my blessings and extremely grateful for your help.
(((Hugs)))
Leafy
