Update
My counsellor asked me today if I’d ever thought about ending therapy. I hadn’t really thought about it. I’ve been in therapy for about twenty years now. It feels kind of like a lifeline for me. She mentioned that I do have a lot of friends at the Peer Support Centre. That’s true. I’ve never […]

Hangin’ Out With My Daughter
My daughter showed up at the Peer Support Centre today. She had lunch with me there, then we went for a walk for a little bit. We did some window shopping. She found a sweater she liked at one of the thrift shops and wanted me to buy it for her. I told her I […]

My Daughter’s Safe!
On the advice of a friend, I called my daughter’s school this morning to see if she was there, and she was. She came down to the Peer Support Centre at lunchtime and we hung out for a bit. I gave her a gift card for the grocery store. She’s gonna get some food from […]

An Epiphany
I didn’t sleep the best again last night. I think I figured out why I was so upset last night. I think it’s because I was prepared for a certain reaction from my husband and, even though it was a good reaction, it wasn’t the one I had psyched myself up for. I was prepared […]

I have no idea where they stayed last night, or where they’re staying tonight. Is she walking the streets all night? Sleeping on a park bench? Or did they find […]

“Don’t Go!”
I wish I could just grab my daughter, give her a big hug, and tell her she can’t move out – that she has to move back home. But I know I can’t. Whenever I talk to her about moving out, I’m calm but inside I’m screaming to myself “Don’t go! You’re only 17! I’m […]

Visiting with my Daughter
My daughter just left after visiting with me for a few hours. She says she wants to be more responsible. I really hope she is. We talked a bit about lots of different things. She told me a bit more about her boyfriend. I told her she’d have to start budgeting once they get an […]

Dinner with my Daughter and her Boyfriend
My daughter and her boyfriend stayed for supper tonight. My husband and son don’t sit at the table with me, so it was just the three of us. He seems nice enough. He was very polite. My daughter ate most of her supper then made herself a Hot Pocket. She took a bite of it, […]
