[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 154163, member: 3388"] Jo, Thanks for checking in. I had been away for awhile too but became concerned the past week or so when I didn't see any recent posts from you. I'm glad that you are taking care of yourself. I'm really happy you joined a gym. in my humble opinion, (for those of us who are able to), exercise is one of the best ways to take care of ourselves both physically and mentally. Don't let your husband's verbal abuse get you down. Alcoholism mixed with depression is a recipe for disaster. I hope he sees the light soon and realizes that you've been trying to help him. He is totally unhappy with himself and it seems like he wants to drag you down with him. I know you're a strong person and you will get through this. Vent as often as you need to. We'll be here... As far as your difficult child is concerned, I know how hard you've tried to help her in the past. I'm so sorry she is thinking like a total difficult child!!! With your husband not thinking clearly, it's going to be hard to have a rational conversation with him about difficult child. However, maybe it is time to make her move out of your house. I know how much you love her, but living in your house seems to make things too easy for her to continue her currrent destructive lifestyle. As far as your mother is concerned, is there any way you can have a heart to heart talk with your sister and see if your sister would be willing to have your mother stay full-time at her house this summer? You could offer to "babysit" your mother on a regular basis so your sister could have some much needed free time. You could also offer to help pay for some of your mother's expenses so the entire burden won't be on your sister. I definitely don't think you're a horrible daughter for not wanting your mother to live with you during such a difficult time in your life!!! DO NOT FEEL GUILTY ABOUT THIS!!! You have so many negative things totally out of your control happening in your life at the moment. I honestly think that you taking your mother for even part of the summer is a bad idea. And, I know from previous posts how much you love her and how hard you worked to try to do what is best for her. You are a wonderful daughter!!! Please don't forget this!!! I wish I lived near you. We could work out together. Anyway, update when you can. And, please don't feel like you need to respond to others' posts. As someone already said, I'm just glad you're ok and are "lurking" here!!!
