[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 595251"] Lisa, your post me really teary. Your kids are so very blessed to have a mom like you. I really hope that Katie is coming around for keeps and that the changes you see in her are sustainable & solid steps in the right direction. I've posted recently about my own struggles with my family and my head is spinning. I can only imagine how much stronger our family would be if my mom was like you. Your are a gentle yet formidable matriarch and you are an amazing role model for your girls. The fact that you had things for Katie showed her that your while your distance was right & necessary - she & your grands were close in your heart & thoughts and you did not give up on her or them. You've welcomed her back without judgment and your behavior is a direct reflection of hers toward you. What a wise woman you are! I have a brother who was a long misunderstood difficult child. I think something changed in him when our dad died. It took about 4 years for me to see it, but he worked really hard on himself. I know he's in therapy and I suspect he may be on a antidepressant or similar. It took 4 years before I noticed and another year before I believed it would stick. Sometimes , losing a parent can be a wake up call. What I am trying to say is that you've been noticing a lot of small steps from katie and you've been posting little bits of hope for a while now. It's the little steps that are sustainable in the long run. She hadn't changed overnight and I am so very hopeful for you all. I wish I had a mom like you. [/QUOTE]
