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 grateful seeing a mom with such wonderful recovery and strength.
Your gratitude is in the right direction.
Good going Mom.

I would rather have her alive to hate me (this will pass) then dead...
Thank you for the encouragement.

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
