Hello
BenFranklin I have gone back and read your previous posts. Wow! With your history, you certainly could write a best-seller.
So, you yourself an adoptee...you adopt a daughter...then because of her having problems in being a mother...you adopt her children. Once again I will write...WOW! My hat goes off to you!
It is nice to read that you were adopted into a loving family...a family that continues to support you as you struggle through the role of being a single parent.
I can well imagine how anxious you are now feeling about the return of your grandchild. She has been away for 6 months, learning life-skill tools and reports are that she has done well. Now she will come back home a different person from the person she was when she left. Will she continue to be that "new person" or fall back into old BPD behaviours?
Sounds like you have been doing your homework...have been in touch with her therapist...have gotten information on how to proceed. You have come to this caring community where you will be able to air your concerns...share your successes...all the while knowing that you are being heard and supported as you put one foot in front of the other.
For sure these are extra stressful times...for everyone...especially for those who have a struggle with life at the best of times.
Wishing you well...wishing you the confidence in knowing you are going to be doing the absolute best you can for this child...and the others who are under your wing.
Keep posting, BenFranklin!
