[QUOTE="WearyMom18, post: 654230, member: 18856"] CrazyinVA - Your input really hit home. I ask myself why I am struggling with telling her or not telling her and the answer is to make me feel better, so that I don't feel like I withheld information. That said, I also know that it's involving myself in her court issues that I said I would no longer involve myself in. The truth is I hurt for her and I'm struggling to detach still. My motives are certainly not in hopes that this will change her course - I'm past thinking anything I can do or say will do that - she's going to have to change on her own. To update on this - she actually just sent me a text that said, Mom, I miss you. That was it. I couldn't hold it in anymore so I told her that her court date is tomorrow and the time. She hasn't responded to either message. Okay so I've told her - now I'm letting it go. What will happen will happen. I know that she won't go - I'd be fooling myself if I thought any different but the truth is, it's her trouble to deal with. I'm not in trouble, I don't have to worry about it (other than my motherly heart and mind hurt for her). It's amazing how much we love these kids and how much abuse we take (or have taken) and through it all we still hurt for them and love them and want better for them. Parenting can be so rewarding but it can also be such a hard, hard role. Hugs to everyone for your ongoing support of my craziness. =) [/QUOTE]
