[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 211847, member: 3388"] Critter Lover, Sorry you had to find us but glad you did. This bb has helped me in many, many ways. My oldest, difficult child 1, is about 5 months away from his 18th birthday. There are so many days I can't believe I've survived living with him this long!!! I've been practicing the art of detachment for a long time now. I think I can sort of understand how you feel - difficult child 1 NEEDS to leave my house and make a life for himself somewhere else. in my humble opinion, you and your husband have a right to have a peaceful life at home, to be able to live your life for yourselves and not just for your difficult child. It doesn't mean you don't love him. It doesn't mean you still won't fight for him, help him. It just means that the time has come for you to be able to feel at ease in your own home, to find peace, to find time to do the things in life that make you happy too. On the other side, your difficult child needs to learn how to live his own life too - You won't be around to take care of him forever. I've got my fingers crossed that you get an appropriate placement for him soon!!! Thinking of you... WFEN [/QUOTE]
