Eva,
Please let Corissa know I think of her often. She is so much more than she gives herself credit for. To settle for not taking advantage of school or even working or helping out is not who she really is.

I have said it in the past and Corissa knows I feel we are connected. I hope and pray she will take advantage of these years to form the person who will rise to knowing she did all she could; whether in business or whatever career she is willing to put the effort to do what is necessary. I believe in her.

Gerry

Absolutely
Forever and always
Anxiously waiting on the sidelines
It is a difficult road in a difficult culture of kids
So difficult to find their way
Always in prayer
Absolutely done
Me

It is so hard to just listen and not give advice when you love someone and have their best interests at heart, especially if you have walked the path they are on

You have a right to resent your daughter's behavior
Unfortunately, it seems like it is going to take her extra time to develop into an adult. I'm sure it's hard not to enable her behavior without causing a rift

Hugs and well wishes in return
It is just like you said
So difficult to step back
My older children rather than help guide her are not being responsible and they too do not get it
One cannot stay sober on their own
My son dabbling with death and adds alcohol as a replacement because he says he can control himself
My eldest a taste for alcohol
The mother of my grandchild
The only one who's been bitten by he rooms
Still not in a good way
And then we have my youngest
A road she doesn't have to travel
She lives with me and my grandchild
Trying to get help is never going to work if she has no desire to get help
Invincible she thinks she is
I kills to watch
Very carefully I deal with her
Very gently
And then there are times I just want to shake her
She knows what she is doing
This is the part that hurts
She knows
Will alway be their cheerleader
When will she start to fight back
All I can do is pray
Pray to Heavenly Father that they will find their way sooner than later
And to see I'm on their side and understand
Thanks for the support
Holding in
As I hold on to her and try not letting her fall into the abyss
Much love with warm hugs
Me

Eva,
A few years ago, when Corissa first spoke with me over the phone; the first thing she said was "thank you for being friends with my mother". Her love for you stood out.

It's still there; just pray she can move away from the "fog" that is hindering her view on all that she is and could be.

Corissa has all the space she could ever ask of me
And I am always ready for her when she falls
My angel has a path of her own she needs to find
What hurts me mostly
Is watching them step away from faith all will be awesome when embracing God Jesus the angels the universe the sun
Whatever
But believe in yourself I tell them
They all are wrapped up in this way of the world
Not the good stuff
How they turned away so quickly
Blows me away
I have guided my children and the can take care of themselves
Such as cooking taking case of bills financial responsibility
Laundry
And such
But the deeper side of them have changed closer to Corissas generation
Stagnant
The core of Corissa all good
She says she would like to be a counseling as your daughter is doing
Something she has knowledge in and has a desire to return back to school
She gets sidetracked easily
And many take advantage of her
I never came between her relationship with her father
Someone that I knew was not healthy
And I was not going to be the reason they would have like to gave tried didn't happen
I feel secretly badly for her and her sister Christine
Her dad forgot he even had her
They both have real dad issues and I don't like any of the things he says says to Corissa gave her a body image complex
She's always fighting over food
He terrible
Just terrible
I don't like it
I can't do anything about him
But just be available for her
The phone is in a dangerous condition and he will not get it fixed it is cracked oozing with all that dangerous stuff
She sleeps with it
Puts it in her bra
In her kidney area
It is so dangerous
This is just one example
And pray that one day she will submit to Heavenly Father
Pray she will return to therapy
They are waiting for her
And I will continue to pray
And try to have as much fun with them as possible
They are inseparable
You are heard
You are heard dear friend
Thanks
Warm hugs

It's so common at 19 for kids to feel invincible. For some reason, 19 isn't as old as it used to be now, and that may be a little part of it. Keep loving her, and hopefully, she will start loving herself enough to find herself soon

I feel badly that the girls have not had enough of their father. It must be very difficult for them

If I had the nerve I would do it

Ah and that's why we don't. Both our lives been touched by it, yours your father, mine my fiancé. We are stoic dear Eva. Hang on, gods plan is in place he knows what we do and why we do. It's why we endure.
