[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 312198, member: 179"] Lisa, what a great perspective. I know I came into difficult child's life when he was about 9. I was a great mom, but he resented me SOOO much as I took time from dad who is all he had for 9 years. Even things like family dinners were stressful. KT, all the 'advice' I can give is that when they get older, they will see their actions and realize that someone was only trying to love them. It's just whether the adult can make it through that time. J loathed me. I never heard such vicious, vile things and doings come from a kid. But, it now seems as he's looking back at his actions. I'm not such a bad person after all. It doesn't help that he's been AWOL for many months now, but at least it was a step. When all is said and done, you will only have your husband to rely on. Your kids will be grown and gone and you just each other to look in the face every day. Savor that and nurture that. KT will come around in her own time. Unfortunately, that could be weeks, or years...or decades. Abbey [/QUOTE]
