[QUOTE="JaneBetty, post: 701468, member: 20814"] Leafy, thank you again for taking the time to respond. I reread your post this morning to remind myself that things will get better. It's never going to be perfect, it is a different kind of better. This morning my husband went to our daughter's preliminary court hearing. I decided against going, and asked my husband if he would not mind going alone. My fear was that by seeing me, she would become agitated, and I truly don't want her to be upset at an already upsetting event. Anyway, when my husband entered the courtroom, he sat down at one end of a long bench where there were two other people at the end. He didn't notice who the people were until our daughter's name was called and she had to make her way across the bench and around my husband's legs. My husband said that she did not look at him and took care not to knock against him when she passed, almost as though she is still mad, or she is ashamed to be there and it is somehow his fault, who knows? She had legal representation from the PD office, but there was a person substituting for our daughter's lawyer this morning, so the hearing was postponed until Dec 20. We wondered whether she has finally decided to accept help from the Crisis people, and a ruling was delayed until she demonstrates compliance? We just don't know. When it was over, my husband handed her some mail and left. He told me that she appeared to be either sleepy or on some new medication, and he was distressed by her affect. She brought along a young man, but did not introduce him to my husband. So this was all a big nothingburger I guess. [/QUOTE]
