[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 84858, member: 3626"] I don't feel guilty. I do, however, regret the times and things we could have done together. We were both cheated by her choices. I can't say that the Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) really helped her all that much. It did keep her out of harms way for 16 months. It got rid of all the negative influences in her life at that time (she managed to find others after she'd been home awhile). I was truly afraid she would see it as another abandonment and, at times, she lets me know how little I love her since I sent her away. That makes me so sad. However, when she is not angry, she lets me know that she knows I had to do it and that I truly was trying to save her from herself. Considering some of the other things that spew out of her when she is angry, I take the lack of love thing with a very huge grain of salt while understanding that a part of her does and always will feel that way. So, no guilt but a lot of other sad feelings. [/QUOTE]
