[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 628133, member: 17461"] I am so sorry this happened to you, and to your daughter, Jeanne. I know what that feels like, when you can't believe what you know but you know, you [I]know[/I] the other person, that person you cherish more than you cherish your life or your husband or your hopes for yourself, is, unbelievably...lying. Right to your face, right in your heart, tearing you apart in real time. It's that sense of betrayal that does us in. For so long a time afterwords, we are frozen in place. It is, Jeanne. I kept having to go back to it, again and again. That I was thinking that way about my own child caused me to question myself on every level. I didn't even know who I was, anymore. It takes more courage than we knew existed in all the world, to take the actions we are required to take where our own children are concerned. It must have been horrific to remember what your daughter's response was ~ the accusations she made about your mental state and your feelings for her. And then to find, again and again and again, beyond shadow of any doubt, that you were right, that the worst thing was true. Cedar [/QUOTE]
