Some techniques take longer to see significant results, or we may be able to suggest alternatives. 2) When she admits she does something because she misses her mom, are adults asking her leading questions such as "Did you do it because you miss your mom?" I ask the second one, because if adults in her life ask/suggest the behavior is because of the separation, then she may be using that as an (apparently) accepted excuse. | |

| Dec 17, 2014 at 17:17 | comment | added | StepMom87 | Thank you both very much for your support! :) I definitely needed a little confidence boost with the way I've beaten myself up over all of this -and trust me, I know it's not my fault. I do just love her a lot and want to save her from any & all pain, but I know that being strong & positive myself will help her immensely! ...I'm sure if I stay on the right path -as you've gave me the reassurance that I am- than I will find the right balance of it all in time ;) Thanks Again & Happy Holidays! | |

Although you know you did what's best by leaving, she may see it that you and your husband "took her away" from her mum. I think some counseling will definitely help her come to terms with everything. It's a lot to take in, new place, new school, her mum's drug problem, not seeing her extended family etc. Good luck and keeping reminding yourself that you're doing the best you can withing the circumstances. | |
