| Backwards gratitude...
My grats are warped- backwards... I am greatful that my little girl lost is incarcerated and is not in the position to let her demon take over; I am greatful that, even though I could bond her out I have turned a deaf ear to her plea's (mommy please get me out of here) even though it breaks my heart to do so... I am greatful that her attorney is looking out for her best interest, not just her interest... I am greatful that, even though it tramples all over her rights, her paperwork got 'messed up' and she has a few extra days to dry out before she is ROR (released on recog) I am greatful that I woke up strong enough today to say no to my child (it may actually save her life and her future) I am also greatful to have found this site. |

I am beginning to understand the concept of tough love. It is as tough on the bestower as it is on whom it is bestowed. Rough day yesterday. I miss my kid.... but... the kid I miss still isn't in that skin.....sigh |
