you're right, they don't relinquish because they get them terminated

back to my first statement. I should have just had him killed and my daughters and I would still have our lives. Screw doing the right thing, but too late now

I'm confused then. I thought you got in trouble with CPS for not doing anything about the abuse. I thought that was why they were taken from you in the first place. What made you terminate your rights? I wasn't clear on that.

My oldest has grown to love her new mother very much. And as hard as it is to know I lost that, I'm very grateful that her and her youngest sister are in a good home with parents that love them and fought hard, even payed for their own private attorneys to keep them, and even to keep Anna but Anna was beyond their reach

If I knew she was in a good home like her sisters, I would not try to disturb that. But she's not and I don't want her to blame herself. I don't want her to grow as I did. That's my main concern. I survived but what if she isn't so lucky. Her life is on the line

I see...well perhaps life has been kind to her since she left your care and she has been spared anymore pain..
If it is any consolation, just because you do not know about her whereabouts does not mean she is doing badly..Not everyone is the same and she may be successful..I will pray for her..

My advice based on what you have said so far is that you need to leave the children be. Sometimes being a good parent is knowing when you are not one and giving your children the best life they can have. Even if that means with someone else. If it helps the girls to have some contact with you then that is fine. Trying to get them back will only cause more pain for them. As far as Anna goes all I can suggest is working with CPS and finding out if at some point you can participate in counseling sessions with her. Seek out counseling yourself and work on your education through a community college.
