[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 620350, member: 831"] I don't think I'm ready to walk away from my home just yet ;) However, a plan is certainly in order. Whether or not I can follow through is another matter altogether. Daughter came home from work, went straight into her room, began talking loud on the phone so it can be heard throughout the house. I had text her a question which she didn't answer. I knocked on her door to get an answer and off we went. "I'm tired and stressed out." "I was sleeping, I'll answer later." "I can't talk to you." "You irritate me." "I don't want to be near you." Then, the yelling by her began. She has all these things she needs to do and began to rattle off a list. Then went on about how stressed she is. I do believe the stress part, but much of it emanates from her own actions or lack of. I'm not sure how things are going to play out with my difficult children, but I know that I certainly am entitled to be treated with respect in my own home. Edited to add: husband and I have many dreams and hopes for the future. We're solid with that. We both talk about the day we will have an empty nest and it's just us and our beloved doggies. There is a part of me that feels sad for my difficult children. Biologically, they didn't stand a chance to come through life without some kind of developmental and mental health issues. Both sides of their family is loaded with it. The majority of the time I stay strong, but some how Son slamming the door in my face really stung. [/QUOTE]
