It's the loss of the relationship as it was that you are feeling, I would guess. And that's why you haven't set limits--because it's not about driving her to school, it's about the relationship.processhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11896815941859100568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21112957.post-74266674368493061642007-03-20T14:47:00.000-06:002007-03-20T14:47:00.000-06:00Chrsitine,Process is here:http://ssecorp.blogspot....Chrsitine,<BR/>Process is here:<BR/><BR/>http://ssecorp.blogspot.com/index.htmlYondallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10375966725096729570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21112957.post-11586869245837169172007-03-20T14:34:00.000-06:002007-03-20T14:34:00.000-06:00i'm glad i'm not the only one having battling conv...i'm glad i'm not the only one having battling conversations in my head vascillating between empathetic/therapuetic and snarky.<BR/><BR/>On a completely different hand...<BR/><BR/>Do you know where Process went??

Inform her what time you will be picking her up and what time you will be leaving.<BR/><BR/>Explain, sweetly, that you'll have to leave on time, as you simply cannot be late for this morning meeting that is expected to continue for several weeks...<BR/><BR/>Call her foster mom and tell her the same thing, so she's not surprised when Miss E. gets left behind once or twice.FosterAbbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431773317761777407noreply@blogger.com
