[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 173603"] I am reacting. I'm not so detached at the moment. I usually do better. My resources are down. Hell, they're almost depleted. I need to recharge. I don't know when or how that is going to happen. I don't mind being a single parent. It's the only way I know how to parent. But, I am the only one dealing with her. I am the only one she dumps on. And I'm running on empty. I don't feel good. Ever. And the last couple three weeks have been worse. My tolerance level is almost non-existent. I find myself resentful of how much she demands from me. I find myself resentful of how critical she is of every single person out there, but she is such a victim. She doesn't make the connection between her behavior and the responses of others. We've been working on that alone for years. And sometimes I feel like I'm just beating my head against a wall for all the progress we're making. I find myself resentful that she is so damn stubborn and so headstrong in her own self-defeat and then turns it around and blames it on everyone but herself. I love my child fiercely. But she's always needed so much and then some more. I'm out of internal resources right now. And I want to scream at her and tell her that I know she's struggling, but so am I and I can't be her everything. She has to start drawing on her own resources that I've worked so hard to help her build. [/QUOTE]
