[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 681354, member: 18958"] I do not think you will ever make sense of it, except for to accept that it is true. Everything will come out in the wash. But you do not have what you need yet to make any sense. Just as she is trying to sell everything, the future needs to be created. Everybody needs to understand that, especially me. There is a future that will come, and that future is not now. I cannot write it, nor can you. Nor do I think what she has done calls into question your parenting. In some ways all of this is an opportunity, at least for her. There is now a huge elephant in the room that has pooped all over and everything within a mile stinks. Only she is responsible to clean it up. Not you. Not I, with my own child, can clean up the elephant poop in the living room. Absolutely. I believe she can, but it will take a lot of time and effort, and a commitment, long-term. She has already begun. Is she horrified, I wonder? Why in the world is this coming up? People make bad choices all of the time. What in the world did it have to do with their mothers? She let an elephant into the living room. Your living room. You did not. She must do what ever she must, in her power and beyond to clean up the mess. If it were me, and I was in sound mind, I would try hard to not talk to her about it. What is there to say, really? I think she will have to be responsible to re-establish normalcy. And you will follow as you are able. Maybe the way forward will be through the sisters. I only know that I have a sense of how horrible this is. I believe she will fix it. But it will take time. I am so sorry for your confusion and your pain. COPA [/QUOTE]
