[QUOTE="Jody, post: 562651, member: 8787"] I had a mental breakdown, and haven't totaly recovered from it. Definately my health has suffered, mentally and physically. Self Esteem, was down to nil and still not where it should be. I am just not me, who I was or would have been, but I am what I am. I am extremely close to difficult child and with some maturity we mostly have good days, and some bad days here and there. That I am very thankful for. I never thought we would have a relationship. I am learning to let go of some of the guilt of hating her at times, as I have moved past those intense type feelings. I am quite the hermit. I love to be home alone with my dog. It's peaceful and I don't have to deal with any issues that a person might cause. I have lost jobs and apartments because of difficult child issues, but now I fight for my apartment and good behavior and respect and I know now I don't have to take any abuse from her. Things are getting better, but yes I have definately changed, some good some bad. [/QUOTE]
