[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 694960, member: 18958"] I do not know what to say about the men. They will do what they do. But as far as your daughter, I will echo what the others say: This is a great outcome. She is not saying never, she is just saying she needs time. Look at it this way: She must have gotten what she needed one way or another, by her own efforts. Had you answered that phone, the exactly wrong thing might have happened. We will never know. But the proof of the pudding is in the eating. She is prospering, independently she is thriving. Who can argue with that outcome. She took responsibility first for herself and now for herself and child. I would be very, very proud. We cannot have it both ways. You took a stand for your daughter and yourselves. For strength and self-responsibility. She accepted the challenge. While forced, she did accept the challenge. Many kids go further down hill. She did not. Now an independent young woman with her own power and voice, she is saying, [I]I need more time.[/I] I respect her. I would be hurt and sad, but I would respect her nonetheless. [/QUOTE]
