CTH, I'm not sure I follow? I can't say that I no longer care completely. That would be untrue. I care less than I ever did, but I don't completely not care. I wish her well. I honestly do. I can see this is not a journey I would want to take in that fashion. I did anyway. I hated it. Every moment of it. But I look back and see the beauty of it and how it has given me a chance to grow in ways I didn't imagine at the time. This has not been a bad thing for me. I am often like a cat - I fall, but I land on my feet. I am not a victim. I am not a survivor. I am simply me.
Journaling: Nothing new to report really. Daughter is acting up more, but I expect that will continue as she moves more back to being a normal teen. I look forward to that. I want her to have a chance to be a teen. I get the feeling she is progressing well on that path. Son is doing same. What's next for me? Who knows? I'm just taking it one day at a time. I realize there will be more ups and downs. More like swells on the ocean now. Trying to give back to friends that have helped me and even those that haven't. I have more to give now and feel I can do that.
