We don't mind your whining.  Your going through a very challenging time.  Your daughter sounds like she has mental health challenges, which many of us know can be very draining on families.  Your an angel Dolly, throughout your life you have loved and cared for children no one else was willing to.  Brandon is now your angel.  He is there listening to the music and dancing across the floor.  And he is still wearing the big beautiful smile that you and your husband gave to him.  So if you need to vent to carry on then please VENT! We love you right back.

thanks for letting me vent... its been a horrible couple of weeks.... sometimes I feel like everything is crashing down around me all at once.. I don't know why so much pain and misery has come our way... but I do know you all understand better than most will... so many people have over the years accused us of not giving her enough time and attention..because of the boys.. it always hurt so much because the boys HAD to have our attention to SURVIVE and we gave her as much as we could.. she had more attention and 'things' than either me or my husband ever had, but I guess we fell short somehow.... I keep praying she'll wake up and see where she's headed ... but so far she doesn't seem to even CARE to change her life... thanks for listening ... seems I'm always whining about something... sorry..

Oh Dolly, I am so sorry you are dealing with this in addition to your grief.
I wish I could help.
Just know, you are not alone.

Dolly I am so sorry for the added trama you are going through with your daughter. Emotional issues are sometimes worse than physical ones because of the stigma. She loves you her parents and needs you to be there. I pray she can get it together, you and your husband have been through so much

thanks Teresa and Connie... well we heard from her again at 6AM this morning.... she had called yesterday to brag about her new 'boyfriend' she met at the hospital [another patient with a prison record to boot] and how they went on some sort of spree at Walmart... then this AM we got a call from her from the prison... my husband refused the call but it must mean they got caught... so now she is most likely in prison, will lose her apartment...etc etc etc... so on it goes...its such a sad tale about my daughter.. she came to stay with us as a newborn so we could help her bond with her mom who was incarcerated when she was born.. she was only supposed to be with us for a few months, but her mom got released and simply left her behind.. for the first few years we had her as a foster child we couldn't adopt her due to the fact that her parents were both Af Amer and me and my husband are both white... then when she was four they changed the rules so we could adopt her.. I wasn't sure it was the best placement for her though.. this is a racist community ..much worse than I even dreamed so it seems... later on the way Brandon was treated was more proof of that but he also was mistreated because he couldn't talk and tell us about it... we only found out about his abuse from other people who had witnessed it.. anyway, my daughter was badly treated as well... and in addition she has always had problems emotionally ...its just gotten to the point of disaster lately... over the years there have been countless crises too... nobody anywhere seemed to be able to change the course of her life.. she would crash and burn after a week, a month, a few months.. over and over .... nothing has ever seemed to help her... now she seems to be doing her best to self destruct...

Oh Dolly - that must have been very upsetting. I am sorry you had to go through that too. I am very sorry for your daughter's health

Dolly I'm so sorry that you had to experience that.
