[QUOTE="firehorsewoman, post: 574335, member: 15804"] I agree with all the others have written but I would add that your feelings are natural and to be expected. Of course it hurts your "mother's heart" so please don't beat yourself up for one second regarding the fact that you are having these feelings. It has not been that long really since you made the big decision to detach and you have done a spectacular job under the circumstances. You knew that it would not be easy and that there would be pain. There was pain before too...the difference is that the plan you have now has a chance of one day leaving you both healthier and happier. Also, as a fellow member who is sandwiched between two generations of difficult children, I think that it stinks and it is not fair to have lived most of your life feeling this pain. I also think that those like us with parents (especially mothers) who were difficult children and children who are difficult children are especially sensitized and vulnerable to all of the trappings of having a difficult child as a close family member. Hugs [/QUOTE]
