So, a few weeks ago, I posted "Leaving" aboout SM who had decided it was time for her to go. For three weeks or so, she held out hope that the move would supported by the department of child protective services. That hope died last week and for about a week, she was okay. She put her mask back on, attempted to be compliant and cheerful and get back into the structure and routine we provide. However, two days ago, I guess she decided enough was enough and she left. She took off while on an outing. Reportedly had one of her friends pick her up.
When this situation presented itself, Jason spent some time in prayer and he was granted a peace in it all-our relationship with her, her knowledge and faith in God, and her diabetes. He can honestly say he is not worried about any of it. I on the other hand cannot say that. After investing two years with her, the damage that she did to the relationship this past month or so and the damage she believes we did to her is painful. And she is not a good, healthy diabetic. I fear that she will end up in the hospital soon, which will cause more long term damage to her body. I am confident that she knows who God is, that she has been introduced to a Christian marriage and that she knows where to turn back to in her time of need. I just don't have the confidence she can or will fall back on this knowledge.

Maybe it's just me, but I tend to worry about the worse case scenario and it is because I feel like if I worry about it then it won't happen. It's the way of most women. It explains how Jason has reached his peace. He's not a woman (for the record).
I love you. You are in my prayers even as I type.
