Tomorrow morning is THE court date for my daughter.

Hi Kim.

How are you holding up?

Well, if you're still up, I think you should go to court. That way you'll hear everything for yourself and know the truth. From what you've described, it doesn't seem as if Amy Beth is capable of giving you that. I'm sorry you have to go alone, though.

I don't know, personally, I'd hate to wait to hear what happened and hear 2nd hand information.

My 2 cents.

More hugs and prayers.

Deb,

That is exactly why my husband and I thought that I should go. I want to hear the "real" truth. The way the crazy court system works right now though, the charged talk with their lawyers and the DA out in the hallway and just come in and inform the judge of what they want. Of course, I know the private investigator is really out to get Amy Beth, so I am curious to hear what she is going to present before the judge. I suppose I will end up going, I'll probably be awake all night anyway and wouldn't be able to sleep wondering what was going to happen.

Candace,

I have tried to put all of my trust in God, and I do for the most part. It's so hard as a mother to turn your children over to Him. Somehow we always feel like "we" should be the ones in control of their lives. I do appreciate the reminder though!

I know, sweetie. I am 50, and my mom phoned me after I got home from work today because it was snowing like crazy and she was afraid I had driven home in it! (I didn't - she is also my early-warning road report when there are storms! Bless her!)

You're a MOM. I didn't think for one moment you could let go of everything...but I hoped you could find some way to 'sleep on it'.

But - good point - you want to hear the reports for yourself. And if Amy Beth has any conscience, and you are there and hear stuff that TOTALLY flies in the face of what she has told you...well, she'll have to deal with that.


I know from long experience in AA, and reading other stuff - that though it seems not to matter to the kids at the time, when they later straightened out they always mention that their parents were so hurt by what they did...they just didn't have it in them to say anything. Lots of shame and guilt for them. It all takes time.

Everything will work out the way it is supposed to.

HUGS!

By logic and inspiration, by compassion and reality, by all life that has been, is, and will be, may justice be done.

Love, Columbine

Kim - your posts are heart breaking I feel for you, I really do. I hope your daughter gets the rude awakening that is coming to her and sorts her life out

My goodness Kim!!!

I'm so very sorry you are having to go through all this right now. I don't really know if there is anything I can say that could make you feel better. I will say a prayer for you, Amy Beth, and Jenna. The only other thing that comes to mind.. is that you have to go through the vally to get to the top of the mountain. Remember to praise God in the vally and he will give you peace.

Im sending the biggest {[HUGS}} ever to you right now. I can feel your pain through your post and it makes me so sad for you!
