[QUOTE="robinm1922, post: 263327, member: 6423"] Hi, I know exactly what you are saying and my difficult child (soon to be 16) is my birth child. She is very hard right now to love, she is always negative and very rarely happy. She can take a happy event and within 5 minutes ruin for me. I love her always but I can't say I always like her. Friends of mine don't get that concept. I am married for the second time and I have major concerns for the health of my marriage, my husband and difficult child are not getting along and it is slowly killing me! I am tired like you and have found myself asking if she weren't born to me would I love her? The answer is scary I don't know that I would. I can understand if my husband doesn't because this last year she hasn't been easy to love. I will do what I am sure you are going to do voice our feelings here and do what is best for our kids in the long run. I have let my difficult child steamroll me this past year, now I need to figure out how to become the brick wall that can't be rolled. I have taken my first stand, we have an IEP meeting today and my husband is coming. My difficult child demanded to know why he needed to be there. I was very clear and told her I didn't like the way she was asking, he was going to support me and no matter what she thinks he loves her. Her response was all he is going to do is give me a hard time. My final response I love my husband and he is going because I want him there end of discussion. Melt down here we come! Ok so I hijacked your post sorry! Guess I needed to get that out. Hang in there and know that most of us have felt the same way, it is a challenge raising teens but add all the other stuff and it increases so much! We have each other here and that in itself has been a life saver. I wish you luck, and sending you hugs and offer a cyber shoulder to cry on! Robin [/QUOTE]
