long distance hugs?

<font color="green">Life has had some difficult turns lately and Friday I had to call my therapist and explain that my adopted daughter’s biological relatives have made several threats to me and her; and my granddaughter’s mother has traveled out with her mother to take the child from my son. The other grandmother has a boyfriend who is a pervert as her severely disabled 20 something daughter’s PCA. The mother does meth – mainlining. My ‘darling’ son has used meth, was recently confronted by family, and seems to be doing a lot better. I miss my dgd terribly and I don’t know what would be the best solution for her. All the while, I am trying to deal with flashbacks and body memories that practically make me bedridden.

All this to say I was pretty upset when I called but my therapist was there so fast and comforting. Ready to help me think it all thru and prepare me to do what needs to be done. Talking me thru the flashbacks, she was there and ready to stay on the line with me as long as I needed her to stay. Even though we were miles apart and only talking on the phone, I felt like she had held me in her arms. I felt comforted and strengthened. I wish I could give back to her something worth what she gives to me. Not to make us even but out of love and appreciation, ya know?

((((((dalila))))) It sounds like you've had some pretty tough times lately. I'm glad your T was there for you. It's always helpful to feel supported and cared about.

If there's anything I can do, let me know.

awwww dahlia.. sounds like you are going through a whole lot. We care and give you all the hugs and support you need.

I am sorry for the hard issues you are trying to deal with right now. It is wonderful that you have such a great t to help you through them. Could you possibly be giving back to your t the joy of seeing you grow and heal? What a wonderful gift.

I do know. I understand the grateful feeling you have after a phone conversation that just calms you down and lets you be.

You are dealnig with a lot of stuff. I hope you can avail yourself of all the other community support services that may help you. I am in the process of doing that too--in addition to my T. I am calling the county Mental Health Association to get the schedule for a parent support group to help me.

Take care. It sounds like you and T have a really helplful, loving and productive
relationship and that's a beautiful thing!
