Since I haven't heard anything from her since yesterday, I am starting to accept that my involvement isn't doing any of us any good. I am angry and worried that she hasn't responded to my texts, and I doubt seriously that she is even thinking about it. It is pretty clear to me now that I have to pull back.

My concern now is for my little granddaughter and how much to tell my former son-in-law, who has custody of her. I haven't told him about the recent hospitalization, but since my daughter is NEVER allowed to see my granddaughter without supervision, I don't feel like she is in danger. I allowed myself to be drawn in to the addictive behavior when I agreed not to tell him about this episode (provided she gets treatment). Never again. I have a lot of work to do, too.
