cause essay 2

I dreaded answering. The phone had been ringing off the hook for days and I knew it was just more questions from Jades friends that I didn't have the answers to.
"Have you heard from her?"
"Not yet." I'd answer quietly. I felt like I was losing my daughter. We'd been so close and here I was playing defense for her so she could get through whatever this was. Her friends were feeling the rejection too, getting ticked off because she wasn't letting them know what was up. I was just hurt. Knowing where your kid is mentally is so much more important than knowing where she is physically. I knew she was in Fort Fairfield, but I couldn't figure out why? She'd made some new friends and they seemed really nice but that didn't explain much. I knew she'd come see me eventually, once she got her head on straight. I needed to be the mom now more than ever. She was being so irrational...for her, yet she was calling me the irrational one and begging to know why?! I knew why! I was afraid for her, I was afraid of losing her and I was afraid of not being there for her when she needed me.
