[QUOTE="bran155, post: 222669"] I couldn't even begin to tell you all how much your support means to me. I really do consider you all as friends!!! I look forward to posting and reading the responses because you get it in a way no one else in my life does!!! Thank you so much for supporting me. I have had a pretty good week. No tears, no panic attacks and I actually slept through the night TWICE this past week!!! I am trying really hard to detach as much as possible. I love my daughter with all of my heart and soul, I just can't be her soft place any longer. She needs to find her own way and when she is ready to embrace her illness and work the services we have in place for her then I will give 110% to the cause. Until then, the only thing that I can do is live my life and wait until that day comes. I pray it comes very soon. I can no longer allow her drama to control my entire person. Christmas will be very difficult for me. We all bought her presents, however she won't be getting them until she comes out of jail. I WILL NOT FALL APART, I will enjoy Christmas morning with my son!!! I keep telling myself that. I love Christmas, this is by far my favorite time of year. I always go overboard and buy my kids way too many gifts. This year my daughter barely got anything, about half of what she normally gets and she can't even have them!! That will be hard, but no one ever said being a parent is easy - right??? Rotsne, I understand what you are saying, however there is no where else to put her. I can only drop the charges if the DA agrees. At this point, after he went out on a limb for her and she skipped her court date and is now missing, there is no way he will be willing to do so.
