F/U to missing kids
Short version: foster kid just came home. As soon as I am able to restrain myself from chewing a new hole in her for worrying us, I'm planning to feed her spaghetti and then we'll be discussing our new guidelines for the behavior expected from adults in our house.
Biological daughter is currently on facebook with a status that reads "You know how you think you're SO right and then it takes something really big to prove to you that you were SO wrong? Yeah, those moments suck.", so I think there's probably a resolution on the way. The same discussion shall be had with her about how NOT to behave if you want to be treated as an adult and if you wish for your mother to allow your head to remain attached to your body.
Thanks again, everyone, for your thoughts and prayers. I really appreciate it!
Re: F/U to missing kids
Thanks for the update, glad everyone should be home safe.
It sounds like you kind find some relief in that they both learned a lesson on their own... and it looks like they're really taking it to heart after cooling off in the real world.
Well said. I think you were right to not try to keep them from leaving, but I'm sure you're relieved to know where they've been and that there can be a positive resolution with important lessons learned.
Very glad to hear that they are safe, and that you are in communication.
This sounds like a very difficult situation. Kudos to you for handling it with love, compassion and thoughfulness.
