[QUOTE="tryagain, post: 619297, member: 14865"] Thank you, recoveringenabler, scent of cedar, greenstockings, and echolette for caring enough to reach out with your kind words. Sorry it took me so long to thank you. I have not been on the forum lately, but I read your words tonight and they meant a lot to me. We were successful in keeping difficult child from moving back home. She even claimed to understand our point of view. Then then she began to seem very stable and last week said she had gotten a job at a fast food place. But now I think she might be making the whole thing up, as she made up an imaginary job last year, just to pretend to herself that she had a job. Once again I am distancing myself, just when I was about to fall prey to thinking she might be finally improving. It is so cruel how a bipolar adult child can lull you into that much-desired place (that you will probably never really get to go to) called "normalcy". Sometimes I feel like the cartoon where Lucy is holding the football for Charlie Brown to kick. You would think that Charlie Brown would learn not to fall for it over and over -but I am no better. Again thank you for being there. [/QUOTE]
