Thank you Nancy, likewise. You're so kind, as is everyone here. Birthdays are bittersweet; our difficult children are a struggle to raise (understatement of the year). I usually go to church on both my kids' birthdays, light a candle for their birthmothers who, I project (have no way of knowing) may be having a difficult day. I hope their birthmothers are lighting a candle on the other side of the world for us, too!
PG, I hope your daughter is open to the rehab offer. Acceptance would be the greatest gift for her.
