[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 460602"] I'm sorry Blondie...it can get so confusing and emotionally draining. What you said reminded me of why I am careful who I tell. There are a few people whom I tell the complete truth to. (But even thse folks I leave out stuff... 'cause it could drain ANYONE) They have known me and difficult child a long time and know what heartache/difficulties/emotional pain surround the situation. They are also good, understanding and kind people. Others, I just tell on a need to know basis AND superficially and (like Fran said) I do not lie. I am careful with what I say and if an opportunity presents itself, I might mention a positive trait or two of difficult child. It took a looooooong time, but I have detached and by and large do not overly concern myself with what difficult child is doing these days or what people think about the situation. Lord knows, I have gone above and beyond to help her with her gfgness. I see some teeeny tiny improvements, but she is an adult and it is up to her to move forward.Of course, I hope for the best. Life moves forward and you can be dxxx sure I am enjoying it as best as humanely possible!!!! :) [/QUOTE]
