[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 754915, member: 19522"] Thank you RN. Yes, it does seem that others are doing the work. It is also a thing that she is stuck in jail and [I]has[/I] to go to rehab as[I] a condition of her release. [/I]It is not her choice. She [I]has[/I] to. Hopefully that will work. It is a start. I have only heard her venting and ranting in those calls. I realize that she has come off meth cold turkey, that the holidays must have been painful for her, that this is going to be hard for all of us. I am waiting to hear some.....humility. Some responsibility towards the havoc her drug use has caused herself and all of us. So far, it has been the same story, everyone else is to blame. That tells me she is still very ill. i will remain guarded until I hear otherwise. It will be interesting to hear what the counselors say. I know connection is important, there is literature on how it is key to keep attachment and bonding for parent and child. These kids have been abandoned for nigh three years. Shouldn’t they be able to choose whether they want to see their mom, or speak with her? They are hurt, angry, confused. They have not had enough time to heal and be able to talk openly about their trauma. I have no way of knowing how this will affect them. So I am back to square one, just trying to slow way down and calm my racing thoughts. I will work on giving it to God and just trying to be present. Thanks RN. I have been helped so much here. I wish us all peace. That would be reward enough! Much love Leafy [/QUOTE]
