I, too, think Megan is seeking your approval.

If it were me, I would just tell her "I slept very well last night, thank you" then change the subject. She doesn't have to know you've BEEN sleeping well...at least not right now.

You've given her an awesome example of what life is supposed to be like..without addiction turning it upside down, so approval from you is important (not to mention you're her mom). I know dad tells me he's proud of the way I handled something sometimes, and it makes me feel good.

But when someone HERE tells me "you're doing good"...it means SO much because you all have found serenity in some really tough situations..and dad hasn't gotten that point yet.

I don't even know if that made sense, but when someone's got what we want...a life full of peace and serenity no matter what happens, that approval means a whole lot!

Hugs and prayers to you, Mr. Marle, and Megan (and the pups!)

Amy
