[QUOTE="bran155, post: 225885"] You and I should get together and compare horror stories. We are so similar. I am so sorry you are going through all of this. I absolutely can relate 100% to the hell you are living in. Janet said it best, no one can hurt us like our kids can. You are right in detaching. As you know I am trying to do the same. And believe it or not it does get easier. I think after so many years of being a "warrior mom" we get tired and detachment becomes a natural progression. Then it comes time for them to turn 18 at which point it is time for us to wash our hands and wait for them to be ready to deal with their issues. That is the hardest part - the waiting!!! All we can do is provide them with the tools, we cannot do it for them. Oh, how I wish we could. Please feel free to pm me as we are going through such a similar struggle. We can get through it together. In spite of what is going on with your difficult child please try to have a wonderful holiday. You deserve it!!! God bless, Shawna :) [/QUOTE]
