DAY 25 ~ LETTER TO THE PERSON GOING THROUGH THE WORST OF TIMES

Dear Suzy,
I know things have been tough for you but together will get through this raising teenagers is tough..We have Taylor now and have him on the right road he is doing grate we just have to get through this legal stuff... that DWI was a blessing in disquise he realizes now he was going down the wrong road and was hanging out with the wrong people he also realizes his problems with drugs and alcohol and we got him into treatment that should and will look good in a judges eyes..Now we have to work on Meagan its going to be tough but you have to be strong a sixteen year old girl hanging out with the wrong crowd is tough..and she is making terrible choices but you have to use tough love I don't want to see her follow in her brothers footsteps but we know she is you can't miss 29 days of school and expect to graduate we only have till she is seventeen to get her straightened out but we can do this, its time to call the school and have her picked up and put in a treatment center herself, she is doing things faster and worse than her brother,she talks like a sailor and when she got physical with you and you called the police and they didn't really do anything shocks me they should have arrested her that day . Suzy you have the support of your family and I am glad you feel like you can talk to me and trust me with your son he had to get out of that town and he is doing great. We have to get her out of that town too so don't let her make you feel bad about getting married and moving you know whats best for her she is going to fight you all the way but look back and thank you someday it will be saving her life in the long run. I hate this for you the loss of there dad didn't help and she is acting out because she has never broke down once and cried she is so in denial and she does not want to have another guy step in and take the role of father to her but he is a good guy and I am so glad you have hm in your life, this is starting to take a toll on your health and you can't go through this again its too much on you or for anyone for that matter..One day at a time is all you can do right now and put this all in God's hands..I pray everyday that she will wake up but I don't think right now she will..God can work miracles we seen it.... that treatment place will be a great start its going to be hard but then you won't have to worry about those phone calls in the middle of the night she is headed to the point of your gonna have to bury her and I know you don't want that none of us do I love her so much and want the best for her. But running around with girls and guys who drink and drive there can be NO good outcome....Suzy be strong and make that call to have her admitted and get the help she needs your house has turned into a flop house her friends and her herself do not care about the things they tear up, put that house up for sale and get out of that town, get married and be happy. I love you so much and am so glad I have a sister-in-law like you...don''t worry about calling when you need to talk I have big shoulders and I can take it..I just want to help and will do whatever I can to help, next she she will get pregnant and you'll be left with a child to raise NOT GOOD!!! but thats what will be next you did the right thing taking her keys away from her she is not mature enough for that responsibility..One day at a time and will get through this just know Taylor is on the right track and he is in a safe envirentment where no one but family knows where he is I know thats a load off you. Together we can get her the help she needs too...like I said call me anytime I am here for you, I love you and your kids with all my heart..today would be a good day to make that call it will be OK put this is God's hands and anything is possible, love you Suzy.. your sister-in-law Pamela
