[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 609907, member: 1721"] There is pain enough for everyone, here. Bio Dad has probably gone through a crisis of conscience as he matured, and is trying to do the right thing by his child. It must be so difficult for all of you. Everyone in your family seems willing to jump in with their two cents worth, and back out again when the going gets tough. It is like they take away your authority, but place full blame on you after they have taken away your power to do anything about anything. This is going to sound trite? But I think it's true. Love your husband and yourself, wish bio-dad well, and prepare for the time when you need to make the next decision. Because I think you are right. That will all fall on your shoulders, when the time comes. I wish there were something more positive to say. I like how you view bio-dad. One of the things that can happen to us, as we go through the hoops our difficult child's present, is that we become bitter and cynical. I don't hear that in your response. Believe it or not, that is a triumph for you. Your compassion for husband is a positive, too. Whatever is coming next, it sounds like you two will be able to handle it. Cedar [/QUOTE]
