[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 626505, member: 1550"] I wasn't sure what to write about your thread so I sat back, felt horrible for you, and watched what others wrote. Our difficult children set themselves up for disaster by who they hang around with and, in my experience, don't get better themselves until THEY get tired of the drama and the entire drug scene and try to seek straight friends. It is hard on them and on us. My daughter told me that her drug friends would never leave her be when she tried to quit. She did it once she moved to another state where nobody knew where she was...there is always hope. Never ever give that up. You are doing well and your daughter actually did hold it together for a while. She has learned some coping skills. Since you, along with everyone here, are an awesome mom, who happened to be thrown a child who is differently wired, I would be very nice to yourself today and hopefully spend some time with your other kids. If nobody shows, heck, go to a restaurant with your hubby and have a great meal or do something you both really enjoy. You deserve to have a good day, not a day where you are overly sad at home just thinking about difficult child. I once read the Mother's Day is the number one day for suicide. Not Christmas, which I'd have thought, but Mothers Day. That saddened me. I heard it during a very difficult time in my life and it really resonated. But, in a slight way, it at least made me realize I was not alone. That particular year I would not celebrate mother's day even though two of my children wanted me to. I just could barely move, let alone celebrate. But here I am years later and things are so much better. Time is your friend. You will get through this. You need to stay strong for your family AND for yourself. We are all here for you today. I can't see two of my grown kids (live out of town) and all we're doing is barbecuing later on after my youngest, who is visiting her college, gets home. So it's not going to be a big deal here. Hugs and love from one good mother to another good mother. [/QUOTE]
