[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 639444, member: 15796"] I went to see her today to have her sign the paper. Man, it is really hard to stay angry when you see them so broken. She is hurting. I can see that. She knows and understands that it is her actions that put her there and took Connor from her for the time being. She agrees that I should not bring him there - that it would not be good for him. She thanked me for everything we are doing for Connor. I told her - it is still up to her - she can do the work and earn him back. It is [I]all[/I] up to her. Well, her and the judge. Maybe she should write the judge while in there. I'll give her that idea but I am not contacting him for her. I am glad I went. It helped let the anger go. She needs help. I see now that she never had the tools in place to stay sober. She admitted that she relapsed when she got fired in the spring. I told her - that is the point of going to rehab and counseling - to get the tools to not relapse during the hard times. What would happen the next time things didn't go smoothly for her? She can't just turn back to self medicating. She needs to figure out why she doesn't love herself enough and fix [I]that[/I]. It was hard but I didn't cry as much as before. I did shed one tear leaving only because I can see her hurting. She has absolutely no issue signing the paper - she knows we need it to care for him. The jail told me I could pick it up in the morning. I told her once she turns it around and does the work to earn him back, we will need to file with the court to have it dissolved. This just hoovers. :( I'm more sad now that mad...she really did turn it around the past two weeks and admitted that she felt so much better taking her medications and not using. The difference with her was night and day so looking back, I know she relapsed when her personailty started changing. Too bad it was too late when she quit again... [/QUOTE]
