Great reminder about not worrying about stbx and what he's working on. I needed to hear that. Thank you.
I am also grateful that those of you who have been in my daughter's shoes can express to me how it feels because I really need that, too. I'm committed to helping her and i can see behind those big brown eyes that she is doing the VERY best she can with her behavior. I'm not just saying that as her mom. I really believe that. Yes, she's brilliant (as I type this she is composing her first "piece" on the piano) but that's the easy part (even though it's actually quite hard).
Even if she doesn't see that I'm amazing when she's 25 years old, I know she'll remember that I TRIED and I advocated for her and I supported her. Right now, that really matters to me.
