[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 439243, member: 1233"] I am so proud of you and happy for you, Jody! I remember how broken you seemed when you first came here a year ago. I was so worried about both of you. It is awesome to hear that you are happy and you know that you are stronger and able to cope with your life. It had to be so hard to give difficult child up to foster care. In some ways it would have been easier to keep her with you and stay in that bad situation. If for no other reason than the devil you know is less scary than the devil you don't. You took the super-hard step and reached out for some pretty intensive help. SOmetimes we have to face the reality that not every child can live with every parent safely. It sounds like your daughter is doing very well (in difficult child terms) with the foster family and you are doing well with the visits. Trust your instincts on this and odn't let anyone push you into bringing her back home with you permanently. I probably sounds weird or strange, but I am so proud that you were able to take that step and let her go live with a family that could handle her and not put up with her koi AND that you were able to rebuild your own life, health and sense of self. Sometimes the most loving thing we can do is to insist our child not live with us. As for her hair - roflmao!!! As if cutting her hair off was going to hurt YOU!!! Where do they come up with this stuff?? [/QUOTE]
