[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 603256, member: 15796"] Oh I KNOW...one thing is for sure, if I take custody - even if it is short term - my JOB is to protect him even if it is from his own mother. She and her druggie friends will NOT be a nuisance around here. They WILL be treated as tresspassers and we don't take too kindly to tresspassers around here. I truly feel in my heart of hearts that I am finished. I am TRULY detached. I have given up trying to save her, fix her, or help her. I REALLY hope she does pull it together but if she doesn't - it is her life and consequences to deal with. Not mine. I truly feel that I have done all that I can for her - there is nothing else. I do not feel affected by her choices and actions anymore. Her life is her own. She has to decide what it will be. The help is there and being offered to her - she has a choice but the choice is hers and hers alone. Make no mistake, if she can't pull it together, we will fight for permanent custody and get a restraining order... I [I]am[/I] at peace. Probably for the first time in a LONG time. I have gone through the full range of emotions for sure, but I am completely at peace with my decision. I started back on Prozac almost two months ago. I am sure that has helped. I feel [I]normal[/I] again. I have finally come to grips with the fact that I shouldn't go off my Prozac - ever... :) but I am on the perfect dosage where I am getting ALL the benefits and NONE of the side effects I had before. Everyone has noticed and loves the difference it makes - most importantly being ME. :D Thank you all SO much for being here for me!!! Looks like I will be around for many more years... ;) [/QUOTE]
