[QUOTE="witzend, post: 457184, member: 99"] I'm so sorry. I do remember how I felt when those times were happening with us. It was so hard to feel like my life was moving anywhere. I could barely get out of bed let alone get out of the house - which I should have done. Just as with everything else, their lives go on as do yours. Don't torture yourself waiting for her to be arrested, it will happen. Maybe now is a good time to see someone about how to take care of yourself, and how to deal with the different things that may possibly happen when she IS arrested. I suspect that like many of us you suffer from PTSD from the walking on eggshells to pacify your difficult child. You need some TLC, and some coping mechanisms for that time when you'll want the strength to not let her wrap you around her finger, or to feel secure in what you did - because you did do the right thing. You can't put your life and your happiness on hold waiting for the consequences of her bad decisions. Start to find your happiness. It won't happen today, but just the pursuit of it will help you to make more sense of it than the chaos she brings to your life. {{{{{{{{{{{{{Big Hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}} [/QUOTE]
