[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 622252, member: 17461"] It isn't that I wanted bad things to happen the the man who did this, Have. I loved him, too. He...I don't know what to say. He was in recovery. He protected my daughter when she lived on the streets. He kidnapped her out of there and took her far away, to safety. They have a child together. The plan was for them to raise their daughter, work their programs, stay away from drugs and alcohol. They were hiking, working together. The Tuesday before Thanksgiving, they made a huge dinner for his family. I don't know how to feel about him. When it happened, I FB his mother that we were just the moms, that we hoped for the best, that I knew she was as devastated by it as I was. I did that much, at least.... It isn't that I want him punished. I want my child to be safe. This wasn't a beating. It was an attempted murder. I think he will keep trying. You are right, Have. You are right. But there is that old, helpless rage in this thought, for me. It makes me shake. True. I honestly, sincerely, believed it was the best thing, that knowing where each had been, they would strengthen one another. I can't even believe it happened, still. Have? That you have posted to me at all is an honor. We each have some healing thing to share with the other, something only we could bring. Your insightful comments have touched and opened my heart. This has helped me see more clearly, Have. That is what I must do. See clearly, mourn and clarify everything, so I can move forward without messing everything up. Thank you for posting to me, Have. :O) Cedar [/QUOTE]
