[QUOTE="Jody, post: 458786, member: 8787"] Please do not isolate yourself. I did that for three years. It is not a healthy way of dealinjg with things, and I know you are probably thinking nothing about this situation is healthy or normal. 4 years ago, I bought a mobile home, so that my difficult child daughter wouldn't tear up someone elses property. I bought it in case she got loud it wasn't as easy for someone to hear the things she said to me. I never let anyone in the house for 3 1/2 years. Once my daughter was in foster care, I had my first friend over. We have been best friends since we were 15 and 17 years old. She cried when I invited her and said I haven't been to your house in over three years. It was a sign I was getting better. Tell only the people that you know will be understanding. I do not talk to my Ex about difficult child's issues because he will blame it on my not whooping her enough when she was younger. I just get angry and retreat more. Your son is 19 and he may still turn it around. One day you may have all kinds of wonderful things to say about difficult child. You just never know what's going to happen. Hang in there!! [/QUOTE]
