[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 740452, member: 19522"] I am not sure Elsi, about all the details. I didn’t get involved. Plus she is an adult so I am not privy to information. I decided not to visit, well, my schedule decided for me. I did get a call today from her public defender, asking if I had seen her or had a contact number for her. There was an awkward silence as I said that I was probably the last person she would reach out to. It’s true. Now that she is out, she has no need for me. It is what it is. My three have been a saving grace for me. I had to tighten up the old bootstraps for my son, my responsibility towards him. This helped me through the loss of hubs, and my twos shenanigans. No time or leeway to go down with the ship. My well adult kids have stood by me with the onslaught of blame from my waywards, and continue to help me with my stance to back off and let them figure their lives out. [I]Our love has saved them from the time we held them in our arms, nurtured them, cherished them through difficult and joy filled moments[/I]. I relish that, and am determined not to let present circumstances mire the beauty if it. I need to remind myself of that, and not see then and now, through their twisted version. I loved them and love them still. They can be saved by[I] loving themselves.[/I] It is completely up to her. She has shown me many, many times, the proof of that. Reached out her hand for help and figuratively slapped me with that same hand. I don’t know how many times she has said “I am an adult, you can’t tell me what to do !” So okay, be an adult then. I have come this far through the support, help and guidance from the warrior parents on this site. Most of all through prayers and more prayers. Thank you Re for your kindness. The journey through does matter. With all we have gone through and overcome, there must be something to be learned and gained from it. It has changed me in many ways. I want the same, RN to change for the better, be more at peace. I came across a quote today that I wrote down awhile back. I don’t know who penned it, but it struck a chord with me. I think it fits with our thoughts here. “The development of self acceptance from facing adversity is your freedom from quiet desperation and will be a great gift you earn.” Thank you all for your kindness, love and support. I am truly grateful to have the help from parents on this site. We are a small army who have been through many battles with strength, wisdom and compassion. ((( Hugs))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
