[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 229331, member: 3626"] Shawna, I've volunteered at a women's prison. Even the most scared and naive do seem to adjust to the "life." If they're lucky, they someone who is there to help them and guide them through all of it with no outside motives. It's something for them to do and lets them nurture someone since they are away from their loved ones. So, that she is adjusting is not surprising. It may also be that the medications are helping her at least get a grip on her reality and an acceptance that she can't change things for now. For now, it sounds like she is safe and in a good place in her mind. Of course, that will change. Probably on an hourly basis. I'm glad she could talk to someone who has truly been there done that. Between J and maybe some of the women on the inside, she may actually get a clue. Try to find out if the boyfriend is actually visiting her in jail. The odds are that he is not offering to take her. It is her fantasy and a way to escape the horrors of her life. Don't be surprised if the ultimate outcome is that the courts tell you to take her home since she is still a minor. She may run when she turns 18 but she's not there yet. by the way -- I do understand why she blames you for her hitting you in the face. Remember, you did, too, to an extent. The main reason, though, I think is because she does love you and really can't face the fact that she slugged her mother in a fit of anger and fear. That is a hard thing to live with, much like the mother who totally lost it and spanked her child for the first time. It is just hard to accept that you did that to someone you love. For now, hugs. I'm glad you two are talking. You might want to consider putting a little on her commisary account, too. I think that in the long run it will make you feel a little better about the whole situation.
