[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 317879, member: 7083"] Thank you all for the support. I second guess myself so much with difficult child and it's nice to have backup. I feel so drained when I spend anytime with her. Isn't that awful? I hate it. I want to be able to enjoy time with her, but instead my guard is up waiting for each little explosion or jab. I am standing my ground, however. And I have to tell you, she is incredulous. I, however, feel like this is the right thing to do. I am also starting to not feel like a punching bag anymore. AND, she is going to difficult child 2's mom's next weekend. I don't know if she'll spend the night, but she will be away for a bit. AND, I now have 2 days a week with no one in the house until 2:30. I haven't had that in a very long time. I'm going to really start enjoying it - aside from just being amazed at how quiet and stress-free it is. ETA: It says something when I saw my therapist last week and said the only one in my house that I like right now is difficult child 2. And he's on probation and it's only been about a month (or so) since I called the police on him, for crying out loud. There has been a lot of stress, too, with easy child and girlfriend; but that seems to be under control now. [/QUOTE]
