Prepare for the worst, hope for the best. That's what I'm thinking too.
Smokey doesn't want custody, but this fear where his parents are concerned has always scared me...even when the girls were babies. At one point, MIL actually said she wanted to take D20 from me because she wanted to parent again.
I need to balance this fear, however, with the reality that they haven't reached out to the girls in forever. And, I have the history of text messages to support my claim.
I fucckin hate this. This is every worst fear of mine coming to fruition. Did I Do THIS? Am I somehow to blame?
It will mean having a sit down with D12. Not today, mind you. But, she needs to understand, somehow, the importance of creating a life here. A balanced, activity-filled life with people around her who can support her and support that this is where she needs to be. D20 can hear the sordid details and, I may need to tell her straight out that I cannot have her budge on her loyalty to me right now.
If, on top of moving and everything else, I am going to put D12 through some more pain...That letter. What did she say in the letter? It's all my fault.
