[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 766123, member: 18958"] Oh. Well. It's clear-cut. She will do what she will do, and you, with her. All of us. No. I think what is there is love. If she goes back to the streets it is she who is going. You're not pushing her. You could never save her. You can't now. She can only save herself. You have to save yourself. I have to save myself. That's how it works. If there was another way, we would have found it. We tried and tried and tried to find the right door. She knows you love her. That is everything. That is what we can give. (I have a hard time.. I get mad. Still.) New Leaf, we never could get it right because it's our children who have to want it. They have to be able to want something different for themselves. They can. But it's not our wanting that finds the door. It's theirs. Yes. It's reality. But harsh, no. She owns her life. We are only in charge of our own lives. That's where we went wrong, New Leaf. It's just plain old reality. Let's see what she does. She seems to have made distance from this jerk of a guy. She has this old friend who is recovering that is offering help. Baby steps. Prayers. New Leaf, please go rest. Do whatever you can do now for yourself and your granddaughter to recover your strength and focus _ [/QUOTE]
