Lauren has done really well for a while. December and January were all pretty good. Her emotions maintained for a bit, and there where no major problems or blow ups. A lot of progress for her. Of course she was still doing things that she shouldn't but there was little I could do about those things, and the fact that she was emotionally stable for so long is a big step forward. I just was happy for the progress she was making. The past two weeks I have seen a slow slide downward. It started with her handing out with friends that really aren't good for her again. Reconnecting with people she shouldn't be with. Then her dedication to work went down and she eventually lost her job. Her boss allowed her to quit, but if she hadn't she would have been fired. Then this past week we spent with family in Utah. Instead of spending time with family like she said she wanted to, she reconnected again with people that only do things that will bring her down. THe week ended with her manipulating things that really made me quite upset at her. She took advantage of grandparents, and me and I was really disappointed.
I hate to see her slide back into old behaviors, and see her start the downward slide, but she did last longer than in the past in a fairly good spot. I guess I should just be grateful for the time she had that was good and count that as progress. I really do hope and pray that someday she may become the person she was meant to be, and that deep down I know she wants to be. I hope she finds real happiness and peace.
