this will be a christmas and a 22nd birthday celebrated on new year's eve for my youngest of 3 daughters, in a locked psychiatric hospital.Stephanie is finding out more about the court system's approach to mental health than I ever want to. This holiday season, keep her and her daughter in your prayers.
I will. I don't talk of it, but I've lived with that, and a marriage was left in smoky tatters from it. It's left me more compassionate, yet also more protective of my own self. I don't want to ever go through that again, and I won't, even if it means leaving something promising when the signs atart showing. Does that make me a coward? Perhaps. But what one does for a child is one thing, what one does for others, IS another.
ReplyDeleteI hope she finds some support and peace.
Brigid, amen.
ReplyDeleteA spouse is a choice, but a child is a whole different matter. To me, at least.
Thank you, for this support, and yes, I will move mountains for my daughter and this battle is not over.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, thank you.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family Borepatch!
ReplyDeleteWishing you all a very merry Christmas!
Stephanie, what you're doing on your blog is incredibly important. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteNative, we're fine, thanks. But please keep Stephanie and her daughter in your prayers.
