[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 639023, member: 1550"] PG, remember that she is a drug addict and my daughter slid about three times before she could do it. Not excusing her...I didn't excuse my own daughter...but it IS an illness that often includes slips. My daughter was the luckiest kid on earth regarding her drug use. It was extreme, yet she never did jail time, maybe because she was mostly a minor when she did it. That does not mean I invalidate your disgust at her behavior. I felt the same way about both 37 and my daughter. Your feelings are valid and they are what they are. It is ok to totally have bottom basement feelings about our adult kids who do appalling, dangerous things. I think dsct is right and the feelings do tend to slowly get less intense, especially if they start to show improvements. She at least did not fight you on Connor!!! And Connor is the main issue and he is safe, warm, loved and happy. He will look back at his childhood with good memories, wrapped up in your arms. By the time he is old enough to really understand, you never know...Daughter actually may have quit for the final time. Until now, you are doing a great job of loving your little grandson. So now the important question... I am not sure what I want my granddaughter to call me. She already calls her other grandma grandma. Are you a Nana, a granny, a grammy, something else? I so love my little granddaughter. It is a love that is impossible to describe, isn't it? [/QUOTE]
