[QUOTE="strangeworld, post: 726873, member: 22313"] The guilt of liking it better when they are not home. I think this is the absolute worst feeling. Because what mother would rather her kid be anywhere but home...even if it means on the streets or in the park? Especially a 100 lb girl? This mom. I know exactly that guilty feeling that seems to be a common one among most of us. But it makes complete sense really after the abuse they hurl at us, the manipulation and turmoil and destruction they cause. My daughter was gone 17 days and I texted her (the night of my last dismal post) to see how she was doing. Stupid question....I know she is not doing well. It opened the door for her to ask if she could come home for the night. Sudden cold sweat and nervous anxiety. I said yes. Hubs picked her up. She came home, looked high, ate, went to her room, was up and down stairs all night it seemed getting food or tea or whatever. Next day she showered (yay!!!), did a load of laundry (another yay!!!) packed up her stuff and I dropped her off in town. At least there were no meltdowns or outbursts. Sjevhas sh** sje needs to do like call about her food stamps expiring and she has a $500 fine for being in the park after hours on Halloween and now failure to appear. It's now in county collections accruing interest. I guess I told her to call the DAs office to see how she can work it off. She just says "I don't know how they can fine me when I didn't even know about the court date"...no urgency. Ugh. LBL I hope your son can find a new start in rehab. And I wish you peace. Your strength really is commendable and admirable. [/QUOTE]
