[QUOTE="tracyf551, post: 237620, member: 4764"] OMG, i can see some of myself in your post! For the longest time i felt guilty for the things that were happening to difficult child. Did I go wrong somewhere?, Could I have done more to stop him on the path he was on?, etc. It took me 6 years,doctors, counselors, police, court hearings, 2 placements, being kicked out of school, stealing everything that wasn't nailed down, threats, fights, comments wishing I was dead and F everyone, I hate you-to make me see, I could no longer help him. I understand how you feel. You think you have failed somewhere along the line. YOU HAVEN'T!!! difficult child'S choose to be the way they are, most of the time. Some have illnesses that keep them from being the the child you have always dreamed of. But some just down right don't care. Don't beat yourself up. Most important don't do what I did. i let myself go, i let the rest of my family down by concentrating only on getting difficult child "better". Could you provide alittle more info on your situation? That will help us understand what you need. Keep your head up. [/QUOTE]
