I am sorry that you find yourself here, but I gotta tell you, I'm a little sorry that you didn't show up sooner. You know what you've got going for you? A lot of wisdom. You could have saved me from my own stupidity a couple of times!!! I really appreciate the fact that you told daughter to be careful and back off. It would have been easier to let her continue, but you did and said absolutely the right thing. You are also absolutely right to try to delay the D for as long as possible so long as you are not causing more problems doing it.
The one thing you have to learn is that you need to hang onto ANYTHING positive. Her replies got longer? Well that's a baby step and that is positive. I have a journal of the positives in my situation. It helps me so when I get down, I feel better. I don't know if something like this will help you.
Honestly, JS, the goal you have is again, RIGHT ON. Make her feel good. Any idea what you are going to do to accomplish that?
You have so much to be proud of especially in how you are carrying yourself right now. How did the session go with the DB coach? What did he say?
BM -
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Reader's Digest idea. You're right, there is a lot of inspirational stuff in there. I never thought to do that.
My prayers are with you. And we'll stay here and walk with you. You are going to be ok. First step is to BELIEVE that. Your GAL'ing is just plain awesome.
