Daughter's Surgery - Mother's Sanity???

My Daughter had surgery today.
Her "friend" said she is in recovery and doing well.
(red flag: new friends in the picture)

Don't know where she is going after she leaves the hospital.

She is not being fully honest about everything to me - which of course doesn't surprise me at all - Quack Quack - Actually she could be dishonest with me about everything right????

I tried to talk to her bf (or ex bf - not really sure) thru some messages - but he didn't respond - I'm sure he is leary and scared too.

The names showing up on her FB post are NOT good - some of them i do recognize from the past -

The ideas popping up in my head sometimes are so good either!

Breathe in, Breathe out -

Step 1 - I am powerless
Step 2 - God is in control
Step 3 - I turn it over to Him (again and again and again)

I'm thinking this road is about to long and hard again . . .

Good thing I'm still wearing my Big Girl PINK Panties!!
(I say as I wipe the tears and muster up the best smile I can)

PINK HUGS my friends!
Rita

Oh Rita, if it were possible, I'd give you lots of pink hugs in person!

I didn't hear from my youngest at all yesterday, which is out of character and usually means a storm's on the horizon in her life.

I was right.

Even though my heart hurts for her, I have to stay focused on my own recovery, and let go.

Lots of deep breaths, and five minutes at a time if that is what it takes for me.

You're not alone.

Thank goodness for those big girl PINK panties, huh? You're fine. Your daughter just had surgery......it's NORMAL to feel concern when someone they love has just had surgery. She is in God's hands and we will all pray that he will keep her safe and help her recouperate quickly.

Now.....keep breathing.....keep focused and feel those.....

gentle hugs from another Mom

MsPink,

She has been on a slippery slope. I pray that she grabs those grappling hooks out of her toolbag and climbs back out.

and no matter what, I pray for much peace of mind for you.

I am really glad that I don't do FB because I know that there are too many family things there that would upset me..so I use the ostrich with it's head in the sand approach. LOL

She knows what recovery is, she has been there before..I hope she will remember that she can un-friend them and get her life back on track.

((((((((((((((loads of hugs)))))))))))))
