[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 764881, member: 19522"] I’m so sorry Copa. So sorry for the hurt and pain of our reality. It is sad. This is hard Copa. A “damned if you do, damned if you don’t.” Toxic relationships are so damaging. I am still trying to figure out my situation with Tornado. It’s hard not to feel duped and manipulated. She came to the house to get her Temu package and off into who knows where she went. This too. Many years of dealing with the reality has left me guarded. I think that’s an appropriate response. It still hurts. When Tornado was at the sober house and Rain ended up in the hospital again for her leg infection, Tornado said the same. “Mom, the end result of addiction is either jail or death.” Who could take it? How are we supposed to respond? It is so hurtful to witness, but then again the reality is the truth of it, we may have to endure that eventuality, but how heartless to also use that as a manipulation tactic? I’m sorry Copa. There’s that word again, acceptance, but it is unacceptable that we have become targets. It is so sad. I am a thing as well, to my two. The more I realize it, the more I know there is much work for me to do to protect myself, my heart, my health. I wish it were different for us and for them. It is in Gods hands. Prayers for you and I going up, for healing and peace. Hugs and love New Leaf [/QUOTE]
