(((((((((((((((Dear CS)))))))))))))))
Oh Hunny,How I can relate to what you're going through, even though it is different in many ways from what my husband & I have gone through.
Jeez. Part of me is just shrieking Don't have her in your home.
Then part of me is knowing how very hard it is to want to do WHATEVER you can to help a person. To do what we would want someone to do it WE were the troubled person. The problem is that THEY have to want to change.
Hunny, PLEASE do what you can to protect yourself...meaning to take care of yourself. I think it wouldn't be good for you to have her in your home, but it must be so hard being the stepparent. My husband has been SO great during all my son's stuff (hubby is stepfather to my son).
I hope you make use of all the help lines & whatever agencies are available to help you.
Lots of people have already given you wonderful words & good advice.
Please keep us up to date as to how you're doing.
I'm sending you much love & support. Wish I were close enough to come over & make you a cup of tea or take you out for a nice walk in nature or something.
(((((((((((((((((((((((you))))))))))))))))))))))
love, Kath
