[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 640958, member: 15796"] I do like Papa. I will have to ask husband how he feels about that one. Connor has also started saying Nana so that may be an easy transition. I know I am finally done with difficult child. I have no desire to help her in any way - for the first time ever. I know that I have cared way more about her life than she has and that will never benefit her. I know that I have done all I could and have done my "duty" when it comes to her. She has been given every opportunity - she was given the world - all she had to do was be a mother and get a job (oh and not do drugs!!). My help does not help. I know that now. But to be perfectly honest for the past two years, ever since I found out that Connor existed in her belly, it has been ALL for Connor. I worked with the court to have her jailed for her pregnancy to keep HIM safe. I put money on her jail account so she could eat extra food for HIM. After he was born, I let her come back home so HE could have his mother with him. Now that I am his legal guardian and he is safely with me, I feel she can do what ever she likes at this point. Either she is going to do everything she can to earn her son back or she will go off and be lost in the drug world. I am at peace with what ever decision SHE makes because I know it is HER decision to make. Not mine. I have come to terms with the fact that I may have legal custody until he is 18 and I am okay with that. It would be nice if she did get it together, but I am not holding my breathj waiting for that to happen, either. I have always, always been the softy. I have been her cushion her whole life. I have always come to the rescue. The fact that I am not even the slightest bit wanting to rescue her in any way is definitely a turning point for me. [/QUOTE]
