[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 601516, member: 13542"] Tryagain, I understand about needing an affirmation, this path we're on is just filled with self doubt, it helps to have others validate it. I need that too. I understand about hope being cruel, it is especially difficult with any kind of mental illness.............I have felt exactly as you feel, so hoping this time will be different and then be so disappointed. Expectations can be killers on this road. My difficult child lives a life which from my way of looking at it is exceedingly boring, she doesn't work and spends much time doing nothing.........in between chaos and drama............it is her reality and I've had to accept it. It's tough, I really know that, but in the meantime you have a life to lead, you have a husband and another child, go grab your life and live it, enjoy every moment of it...............every single day I choose that path, to enjoy life, to relish each moment, to be engaged in life........... over the despair of worrying about my difficult child and all that I cannot change. ....HUGS....
