[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 286788, member: 1233"] I am glad you are at a place where you can really [I]see [/I]this stuff. We can hide from the truth for a long time, behaving as though what we want to be real is real. When we stop hiding and really [I]see[/I] the situation we often are able to make real changes and stick to them. I think this has been a long time coming for you. We each have to reach this point on our own - NOT when someone else thinks we should reach it. I hope this can bring some growth for you, and the feeling that you do NOT have to make other people happy. It is OK if difficult child isn't happy. Same for daughter and pcson. It is OK to do things that only make Susan happy. And it is OK to put what makes Susan happy before what makes one of the children happy. Even before what makes husband happy. I forsee increased detachment, a better relationship with your other kids and husband, and more enjoyment in life in your future. I am really moved by what you are truly seeing and realizing here. Thank you for sharing it. [/QUOTE]
