I'm so sorry, MG. What a hard decision to make. I'm willing to bet that C will take all the love and support you've shown her, and use it to make better decisions later on. You did so much for her. {{{MG}}}

Mostly lurking...
MG, I offered you thoughts in LJ too, but ugh. Just ugh. Many hugs and all that. I hope you're able to start sleeping again soon.
And in my whiney news, I am in a great deal of pain. I want to go home, but there really isn't any point. I'll just be in pain there too...and I have two doctors' appointments this afternoon, so it's not like I'd be able to stay at home. But, at any rate, I'm having a very difficult time sticking this out.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Thanks all. And thanks Trudy.
I'm trying hard not to get petty, which is where my brain is trying to go right now. I've turned off her phone aleady and DH has started taping up some boxes for her. She has not spent the last two nights at our house and part of me wants to say she is not welcome to spend the rest of the week either.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
{{{{MG}}}} Sorry, sweetie. i'm so sorry.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am so sorry, MG. I wish there were a magic wand to make C realize how much she is giving up, but hopefully some of what you've given her will stick.

Well, juliana. The house will be much quieter, that is for sure.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Don't dwell on "used," Maidengurl. Just because it's all going pear-shaped now doesn't mean that your love and support wasn't of value to C. Of course it hurts you terribly. But better she was cared for you by a little rather than not at all.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
It's not petty to feel that way. It might be petty to act that way (it might not be, I'm sure you'll make the right call).
Maybe try (for your own good as much as hers or anyone elses) to remind youreself that you are coming at this from a place of love. You aren't acting out of cruelty or spite, you are doing the best you can for the people you love. You can remind them of that even.
