[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 111798, member: 393"] Beth, I'll take moments of calm - happiness right now is expecting too much. [img]:smile:[/img] It seems that your household needs to skip the holidays next year; it's just too explosive for your difficult children to handle. by the way, is husband stepping in & helping? And the detaching thing - sounds good but a mother struggles on a daily basis to step back. You'll know when you have it down to an art form - difficult child will call informing you that he just set the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) on fire & you'll reply "that's nice, dear & where are you sleeping tonight?" I've found that ativan helps with that level though. [img]:rofl:[/img] Truly, Beth - this season has been hell on wheels for you. I've turned to art, my private little bird sanctuary, I've started practicing (gingerly) piano again & lots of journaling to help me. I'm not necessarily happy - it's not time for me to be happy yet. I'll take an acceptance & level of peace. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
