We were talking about us cutting contact and told her the whole story and i said the therapist herself said you guys failed us by not letting us do family therapy from the start. She was like yes I realize things were not handled well in the beginning and believe I am handling my cases different now and got teary eyed They know they believed the kid wo any investigating and they know they were wrong now.

Well pretty drama free because I decided not to let stuff ruin Christmas this year. A week before I get a message from the daughter in foster care telling me I am a useless ***** and she is not coming back to us so just forget about her and tell everyone to **** off because she is forgetting us and am I happier with her gone etc etc The oldest son couldn't afford to come home but instead of owning up he said he didn't care to spend Christmas with a family he never felt a part of. So yeah he is and has always been the worst around the holidays so we just leave him be and he will straighten out about Feb usually. He texted me Merry Christmas and I told him Merry Christmas back and that was it.
My husband has had a very hard time. He is feeling bad and sad. I don't think he really grieved our daughter last year so he is doing it this year.
I have just decided to focus on the kids that are here and want to be in our lives. I am excited I just ordered the book recovering from hazardous parenting and I am choosing to focus on my recovery. We are also going to have a new grandbaby from the oldest in June so I am focusing on that as well.
We did go ahead and get our family pics taken as planned and I know everyone was thinking two members of the family are not here but we forged through and to me that is all we can do.
