[QUOTE="WearyMom18, post: 652213, member: 18856"] All well spoken words of truth and they confirm the path that I am shifting to where I grt back to being me. As I expected and as you have all warned me abou, she text me today and said she's hungry and her boyfriend 'screwed her over' 2 days ago and she's back in our hometown. Yes, I unblocked her number this morning after feeling bad for blocking her. (A step back I guess). I told her I was sorry to hear about that. She then said she loves me and misses me (my heart hurt so bad). She asked what I was doing today and I replied with one word Relaxing. I told her I was sure she would find a meal commenting that I know she is resourceful. She said OK. 10 minutes later I grt a text from my mother in law that Difficult Child had text her and told her she was hungry. mother in law told her she would feed her if she wanted to come over. Difficult Child told her she didn't have a ride. mother in law told Difficult Child that she has broken her heart with her choices. Difficult Child said sorry and stopped texting. So hard to hear that your child is hungry but my very first thought was that she was lying, trying to get money and that her boyfriend is probably still around. If she really needed a meal, she would've found a ride to get it right? I'm trying to stay the course, for me, but gosh it's hard to hear your child say she is hungry although I am skeptical that it's even true. I don't know whether she has come down off meth (I don't know for sure but I'm assuming)and now she's hungry? I'm trying to not let it worry me, she's always found a way when she ran away all those times before, she will find a way now. I'm proud that I kept the responses short and didn't fall prey to what might be another lie. I also coached my mother in law to give her no money and only if she wanted to, give her food. I know I'm going the right way but it was a tough interaction even without her yelling or anything. She was actually very calm and didn't harass me with texts. I just don't know how to feel. [/QUOTE]
