[QUOTE="tryagain, post: 630503, member: 14865"] Good for you, Echo. The adjective "resilient" comes to mind. I was catching up on this thread after posting yesterday. And I can honestly say that I was "worn out" after reading all the posts. Let me explain. It's just that I have done so many of those actions that you just described, have been through so many of the feelings you described, have come through the cruel hopelessness, the equally cruel hope, the optimism, the pessimism. I realized -OMG -how much we deal with on a daily basis. I guess I don't think about that any more than I have to. I just try to live day to day. The idea that "a lifetime begins with two weeks" (would someone please tell me how to do the neat little quotes that everyone else knows how to do?) & description of "the bumps" truly resonated with me tonight. I've had a horrible day with my difficult child. We had a huge fight. Thus -"the bumps". I was so angry that I called husband and told him to please sell the house and let's move away so I can escape her. It is so easy to enable them. And the fear of her attempting suicide again holds us hostage and causes us to enable her in ways that we weren't doing when she lived five hours away. She sees the P-doctor tomorrow. I hope he can help her. I can't do anything else. So Echo, I am feeling gladness for you. It helps fill up the emptiness I feel tonight to know that one of our collective difficult children is making a little progress. I am praying for them all-and for all of us-right now. [/QUOTE]
