Day 30

Today got a little rough.  I'm definitely not someone's favorite person.  This is not any real surprise considering the circumstances.  Tonight was a little different though.  Having adults for whom you have no love lost all putting their collective foot down on some ill behavior you think is justified doesn't make one a happy camper.

It makes me sad to think of how many kiddos are in difficult situations - some far worse than this one's.  Children suffer because adults can't make right choices.  That makes me angry.  She can rail and say she doesn't want to be here and that she doesn't trust me and doesn't believe that any of us care about her and that bothers me some but makes me sad for her.  But knowing she feels this way because the adults in her life failed her, that makes me angry.

A couple days' time will calm things down here.  Prayers will have to be the tool of choice for everything else, I think.  And I do pray for this little girl every day.
