[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 498535, member: 1967"] difficult child came over today and spent some time with us and then left to go back to the sober house. She texted me when she got there that someone had taken her laptop. Luckily, it wasn't working so they didn't get much. Someone had already stolen her Ipod (which ironically also wasn't working). She was mad, though, and texted me asking if I would take her for a lock for her door tomorrow. She said that she was "tired of this #$&%." And though I knew I should have been a bigger person, I replied, "Yes, we can get a lock for your door. I have to say that I know how it feels to have someone steal things from you." To my surprise, she responded, "I know you do. I wish I could take back all of the times I did that to you. I'm sorry, mom." I really do think I am seeing some emotional growth. Or is it wishful thinking? ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
