[QUOTE="lar, post: 641157, member: 3018"] Thanks so much for your kind responses and encouragement. They mean a lot to me. I just have to remind myself it's one day at a time. I did look into Nami at one time but I didn't follow through with it which I need to do. You are so right MWM in saying she doesn't really want to grow up. I have always thought she might possibly be on the spectrum. She has come a long way though. I don't know much about her birth mom but I do know she suffered neglect and physical abuse. I sometimes believe her issues are more environmental. Yes I am thankful I haven't had to deal with attachment issues. I don't know if I could have handled it. I'm trying to really step aside as much as I can and let her grow up. I have to keep reminding myself too that I am not my grandsons mom, I'm Mimi. That really hard sometimes. I will look for some professional support for myself to insure I'm doing the right things. It's really easy for me to come down hard on myself and wonder what I could have done differently. Thanks also for the reminder that I can't expect her to be something she's not. I think it would please her greatly if I would remember this! [/QUOTE]
