My counselor recommends giving myself time to heal and to focus on my own needs for now. That is what I am doing. He is convinced my daughter will come back. I don’t know why and I don’t see it happening. He says in many cases, however, they come back to us when they have a crisis. I have mixed feelings about that but I’m trying to just focus on a positive path for myself. I am responsible for my own happiness. It’s something I’ll have to work on myself and not wait on others. I don’t want to be sad and bitter.
