[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 381961, member: 3353"] Just wanted you to know I continue to read this thread, Witz. I still have nothing of value to add, other than that I hope things resolve for you, soon. It's heartbreaking, and life is so short, but it seems impossible to turn away from our troubled kids (however old they are!) without doing major damage to ourselves. Maybe you could try that technique we were discussing on the other thread. You know, remembering back to something that used to be a source of pride and personal nourishment, and bringing that feeling into your life, now? Heaven knows our difficult child kids aren't going to be providing any particular sense of pride or personal nourishment for us! Barbara P.S. Oh, wait. I thought of something positive. At least, it helps husband and I. We know a woman with like, eight kids. Six are doing well. (I mean REALLY well !~ millionaire well.) Two are doing badly. Of those two, one is doing REALLY badly. With an exasperated shrug of the shoulders, this woman describes his situation this way: "difficult child 2 doesn't have a pot to p*ss in or a window to throw it out of!" She cannot account for the difference in her children. With all that help from extended family and siblings, the two difficult children are still difficult children. Small comfort Witz, but all I can offer. :o) [/QUOTE]
