Hey Girlfriend,
How goes it with K? Hope all is well. Are you able to relax a little knowing that she is in good hands?
Also I wanted to ask you about the e-card I sent you and R. You weren't offended that I sent it since I don't do AA? I hope not. My intentions were in the right place.
Hope you are having a great tuesday! It's raining here at my house in Orange County. Bummer :(.
Take care pal!
Hi VW...
I just wanted you to know you've been in my thoughts & prayers a lot the last few days...and I thank you for sharing all your going through and the footwork to get there...For me, as a mother, it is difficult to watch my child struggle with drugs and alcohol and to remember, I need to take care of myself and my recovery first and foremost in order to be there for him....
Check in when you get a moment....
(((hugs))))

Hi Girls,
Valarie we didn't get the card ~ I stopped getting stuff from you and other people which is weird ~ do you think someone was able to put a block on my PC? I don't trust the kids K was hanging out with. It would take a lot to offend me girlfriend, remember, I grew up with a Dad in and out of jail/prison, a Mom who had her head in the sand, a verbally and emotionally abusive husband for twenty years and now my youngest kid is verbally abusing me...so no, I doubt your card would've offended me ~ lol!
Stacey and Val,
Okay, well K is on 5250, a 2 week involuntary hold; then she is shipped either to one month inpatient, 6 month inpatient or 1 year inpatient. When they gave her the papers to show she was on 5250 yesterday she crumpled them up and threw them on the ground, they made her go pick them up...she still is requesting that we not visit....fine with me. Read my update under the I can't sleep post over on the Friends/Families boards. She is so delusional my sister pointed this out, she thinks she's gonna break out of there and get to one of her punk "shows"....don't we know we are ruining her fun. She called me Saturday, and it went like this:
"Geri, I NEED my things. Kaylee, I delivered underwear, socks and sweats, and t-shirts to the receptionist.
Well, where is it???? I don't know Kaylee, ask your Orderly, good bye (click)."
Oy vey.

Geri...
I can relate...my son called from juvie on Sunday...lol...said he couldn't wait to be released, yada, yada and which I replied, that's great and I hope that you've learned something and can stay out of that place to which he told me, he didn't get himself there, his PO put him there...huh?? You broke curfew over & over, broke 3 of the rules of probation so it was a violation but he's still in a lot of denial...it's everyone's elses fault...I keep praying and praying...this is his journey and his decisions and if he continues to keep making the wrong choices, I will continue to work with his PO and have him back in juvie...I don't expect much anymore as expections for me can turn to resentments...Today I just love my son and realize I sure do not like his actions but they are his actions and his decisions....
Hang in there Geri...and remember to take care of you...
(((hugs)))

You nailed it, my friend, get to a meeting, put it out on the table and leave it there...give it to God and he'll take care of her...
Take care,
Stacey
Take care,

Hi Vw,
Well the night that you stayed at your sisters I sent an e-card that was the Serenity prayer. I wasn't sure if you guys had a chance to get to a meeting so I just thought you'd like it. I don't know why it didn't get to you. I'll send any future emails from my hotmail account. Vlchavis@hotmail okay?
Sounds like K is really upset. Someday she will understand that you really love her and just want the best for her. You must be sooo relieved that you don't have to be Columbo anymore and track her little a** down.
I will keep your family in my prayers!
Your Friend, Valarie
