[QUOTE="mom_to_3, post: 143807, member: 30"] 'nette, I didn't know your story when I responded to you. I understand the relief your easy child children give you. It helps to feel like you at least did something right. Regarding your child in jail.................... (Now that I know her story) Why in the world are you feeling any guilt and why, why, why would you take her phone calls? You are raising her children for Pete's sake! I'm afraid you have it all wrong, she is the one that should be feeling guilt. How dare she endanger her children's lives and protect the animal that caused them serious injury?! Why would you even WANT to pay for a phone call to listen to her defend herself and this animal? She'll never get it, I don't think. But I do know that I would not participate in anyway with the abuse of these children. You can love your daughter no matter what. Of course you do, it's only natural. But love doesn't mean you have to sit there and listen and console and pretend to believe all the garbage she tells you concerning the serious injury to her children. Sometimes, we have to love our children from afar. When your daughter gets out of jail, I would befriend her in anyway possible for one important reason. I would do my best to convince her to get her tubes tied. I would volunteer to pay her co pays if she had insurance, or I would be seriously looking for a low cost way to get it done and pay for it yourself. At the very least, get her to get an I.U.D. and you pay for it. I hope I didn't offend, I hope you heard that your daughters actions are not a reflection of you or of your parenting. Her actions are not your responsibility nor should they be your shame. [/QUOTE]
