[QUOTE="Blindsided, post: 749136, member: 23811"] Thank you for your understanding. I just told my sister, maybe the best way to handle it when people reach out to me because they want to help is simply say, I don't know. That sure is the truth. My granddad always said, "You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make them drink." As for the dogs, they did stay with a foster home when my step-daughter took May in, 2016. They wouldn't keep them because they are not trained and I mean, they are not trained. They haven't had any supervision. It's not their fault. I just want my daughter to reach out for help and have a plan for the dogs so she can get them back, but nobody wants to help share the responsibility and none of us live in the same state as May, which makes it doubly difficult. She always goes back to the place where she has no more friends and no family. I am probably being far too optimistic thinking that after all this time, she would even agree to any plan. I know I have to wait until she reaches out for anything to work. I just want to be prepared.I read a good book that was written for a church, by a female pastor. It's called, When a Mother Cries, Learning to Let Go and Let God. A friend copied it and sent it to me. I have lost it and it was never published publicly, so I can't get my hands on another copy. Thank you again. Sometimes I just need to hear I have done all that I can. [/QUOTE]
