[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 619090, member: 17461"] So many of us lose our marriages over the sadness and sense of loss that pervades everything when the focus is too much on difficult child. Very happy to know you and husband are coping together instead of tearing into one another. Good for you! It isn't easy. We hear all the time about how other families behave like families and husband and I do not. During the thick of his addiction, our son wanted a duplex. That way, he would have a place to live, and the rent from the other side would pay the bills. He still has such a sense of betrayal because we refused to do that. (!) That seems to be how they think. According to both kids, other families open their homes to their grown kids with no move out date, mortgage their homes to start their children in businesses, send "enough" money at one time for it to matter instead of just enough to help with rent or utilities. We don't know what to make of it, either. It is good to understand that all difficult child kids say things like this, but it is still so hurtful. Cedar [/QUOTE]
