[QUOTE="Coookie, post: 124177, member: 1587"] Oh Jo, Hugs to you. :( While my difficult child is doing relatively well right now I do remember that horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach. Blech... :sad-very: I remember unplugging the phone, internet access, giving the final ultimatum and hoping against hope that I would have the strength to follow through and then one day I did. That was the day husband and I bought difficult children ticket to Arizona. Hardest day of my life but I was so fed up I made it through ok. :) It is especially hard when husband wants to handle it and we see nothing happening. My husband's way seems very similar to yours but then I am the type that wants to see results... NOW!!!! I have no words of wisdom for you but I truly understand. One thing I want to mention though is that before difficult child went to Arizona my marriage was taking major hits... something that was very new to husband and I so basically it came down to us or him. Then the choice was clear. Didn't mean we stopped loving him or wanting to help him, just meant that we decided that no matter what problems difficult child had...he was not taking our marriage down with him. :( Hugs [/QUOTE]
