[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 481547, member: 3184"] Star, you are right and I am aware of some of it. I know she is more mature than her age, not many kids go into their therapists and revise a restraining order towards their dad to BETTER set boundaries. In many ways? She is more like an adult than a teen, sadly. I had not looked at it as she is so used to keeping herself occupied. I just had an honest conversation with her, and told her that visiting difficult child is hard for me too, and I was not up to having her friend come along, but that maybe we could do that another time. She (in a very un teen like way) was not upset, did say she was not going (did not yell or throw a fit, just said it). Her friend asked me today when I picked up easy child from her house if she could go, and I said not this time. Friend just teased easy child about it, and it was just teasing. I really do like this friend and hope to take them both at one point so they can go to the mall. I cannot even imagine how it is to be easy child. she has not been able to have friends come over often, we have to change plans, and life is a battle ground of meltdowns due to difficult child. It has to be horrible. It has been so quiet. It is amazing. Star honey, I have been back to school. It was great, I don't regret it but cannot do it again. I took all the pre reqs for the RN program here,and could not get in. I do love to learn. I have been reading, something I have not been able to do in years. I am trying to not focus on what is going on with difficult child, but it is hard. I watched a movie today, and cleaned up my room a bit, getting rid of more of s2bx's stuff. I am just doing more little things. I made my mom a photo book online with photos from all our coast trips, she always said she wanted one but I never had time to do that. easy child is now (for this moment anyways) coming with me on Tuesday. I had given her $20 to go to the movies for her friends birthday. She gave it back to me as the friend's mom insisted on paying for everyone, and she knows how tight money is. She then later tried to give me $2 she had for the same reason. I told her to keep it to buy coffee or something for herself on Tuesday. She loves McDonald's breakfast, so that is what she is doing she says. She is sooooo much more grown up than 15, and I am so used to it I forget sometimes. As for how your son is doing now and what he has been through? Thank you for sharing that Star, that does help. The guilt gets better when I sit and remember why we are doing this, and how if effected easy child. How her depression had gotten worse, the cutting, all that is aggravated in part by stress due to difficult child. [/QUOTE]
