[QUOTE="witzend, post: 426258, member: 99"] The remark about easy child really struck me. Love shouldn't be about pain. That's beyond self-centered, that's controlling. It hurts to hear that your difficult child is still on her downward spiral. I don't believe that she is really reaching out to say that she wants to change, it sounds more self pitying than anything. She and my son sound as though they are on the same track. I remember M being very snarky in therapy at one point and asking us "Why should I say I'm sorry? I could just be lying and not mean it. I could tell you I'm going to change and then not." The truth of it is that we know when our kids are feeding us a line. My suspicion is that your difficult child went to great lengths - 7 pages - to feed you and your wife a line. Not a very nice Mother's Day gift, in my humble opinion. Oh well... when our kids are on the right track we - and they - will know it. Big hugs... [/QUOTE]
