My heart...

I truly love my girls. I am very proud of how far they have come in the almost five months they have been my daughters. They are improving a little each day. I am questioning about what to share and not to share. I don't want to hurt my girls in any way. Maybe I have messed up. I don't want to be fake at all. If people ask me how things are going, I will be honest. I hope you know my heart is not to hurt my children.

  1. Anybody who has walked this path knows you would never hurt them. You are justifiably proud of them :)

  2. It is clear in your writing that you deeply love your girls and want them to grow into the best they can be. I appreciate your honesty. Those of us who live similar lives day in and day out understand and can surly relate to the triumphs as well as the challenges. I too question at time if people really understand the depth of my love for my children, esp. when we are struggling. You are a wonderful mom and are always doing what is best for them and would never hurt them.

    I read the comment from the last post with suggestions of modification. I agree to a point with what they were saying but I would have to say that for my two even if they could do certain things I still wouldn't feel comfortable with them going over night. I would lean toward allowing them to have someone over to our house for a few hours to start off with. If they prove to be trustworthy during that time I would extend the time until after supper the next time, then extend to over night at our house. This way I can truly know of their behaviors and monitor what they are ready for. Night time is a traumatic time for our children and they need to know the safety of their own beds and home and parents for a while. Just my opinion.
