Irish - In a weird sort of way I think the WAS leaves them with us because we are the best choice. Kind of like abandoning the baby at the church...Glad she acknowledged D's because all hope is not lost but also think you are very centered and able to best see the conversation for what it is right now. Perhaps she will be more specific in her desire to connect with them at some point in the future. My H's random efforts to reach out to our D's is very disruptive to them. They dislike his short random group text and tell me they believe it is insincere. I stay neutral but I have to say that asking for my advice would help him if his effort was genuine. I guess I think you are doing great but keeping the door open by responding is ultimately a good thing. If and when she ever wakes up the fact is your assistance may be her only hope of reconnecting with your daughters. Maybe not your help but some sort of approval. Her actions have ensured that the only path back to her children in any meaningful way is through you.
