Hi again.....well....just as I made the realization that my girl is making some bad choices, and that I need to respect those choices, I decided to let go.....I got word to her that I will be there when she wants and is ready, but I made that decision reluctantly and sadly...I needed to move on....work with the ones that want to be helped...not force help on someone who doesn't want it.
Well....no sooner did that come to me when another student came up....one who is deeply hurting....and has turned to fighting and violence to cover her pain....funny, she is really a pretty girl, and on first look, you would never assume she is violent....but most kids steer clear of her....and they are amazed that when they see her with me...she is crying and looking helpless....yet none bother or mess with her about it. She has been quite open, yet I know there is more....and that has me concerned....with the end of the year approaching..>i dont want her to just open up....become vulnerable....then off for the summer....
oh well.....gotta love the twists that life throws at us...
