[QUOTE="jeanne in CA, post: 628192, member: 18036"] Cedar, bless you for your kind words and thoughts. I cannot imagine how difficult things have been for you and your husband. The agony of trying to find, correct and repair whatever you thought might have caused your kids' problems must have occupied all of your actions and thoughts. Of course, the first thing we think of is what we must have done wrong. Luckily, I am pretty much beyond that. I firmly believe that there is simply nothing that my husband and I could have ever done to justify our daughter's actions. I mentioned previously that in many ways, regardless of how horrific our daughter's actions have been, in many ways we have had it easier than you and so many of the others in this forum. We didn't have failure after failure trying to help her. She never made promise after promise that she would change her ways. Instead of a continuous chipping away at our hearts like so many of you have experienced, she gave us more of a sudden acid bath that we never suspected and therefore, never saw coming. It has been the most painful thing we have ever experienced, but there was never any doubt about what happened. I met with the psychiatrist this week who has extensive experience in forensic psychiatry. Poor guy, I just go to pick his brain and he is so patient in answering my questions. He said we should prepare for the worst after the police contact her. Predicts she will show up at our door with both babies in tow pleading for us to forget everything. He said if that doesn't work, she will get desperate and threaten suicide, claiming that if we send her to jail, we are killing her. He said when that happens, simply and calmly pick up the phone and call 911 to report a suicide threat. He said if those antics don't get her what she wants, she will get really angry and tell everyone who will listen, including the police, what awful parents we were and how we continue to persecute her with our lies. I am going to do everything possible to avoid the histrionics she will put us through by seeing if the detective will put a "do not contact" order or something similar in place. I know it is just a matter of time and I am doing everything possible to prepare. You hang in there. Jeanne [/QUOTE]
