[QUOTE="Torn and Tired, post: 570308, member: 15700"] Thank you for your support - and all the kind words. I realize that I have enabled the difficult child and certainly didn't realize I was pushing the bottom down further. What a beautiful analogy. It really hit home! Right now, things have diffused. husband has calmed down and difficult child texted me that "he is handling everything." I'm not sure what that means - but it sounds good. It is very hard to detach. I never thought of myself as that kind of parent - but boy, am I. I'm like a blanket, and I realize that difficult child is only going to do things on his time...not mine. My heart does hurt - and I do worry. But I will learn. THank you all. ME: 53, employed, in college, physically challenged with hip and back stenosis. husband: 36, employed (yes, I'm a cougar!), no natural children difficult child: 20, male easy child: 21, Male, in Sr year of college easy child: 28, Male, married, lives in SW (was not always a easy child). PCGF: 21, lives at our house (not WITH easy child, but is college student too). [/QUOTE]
