[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 618777, member: 17461"] I agree with Recovering and MWM. In reality, though the designated issue was money, the actual issue was power. It was your power as a parent that your own parents (innocently) undermined by taking difficult child in. Though I hear your pain and confusion? What you have accomplished by defining your position to yourself and then, stating that set of facts to your parents is exactly what needed to happen, next. Speaking our truth is never comfortable. But you did it. You did the right thing. It doesn't feel happy or pleasant to have taken this stand. But the truth is, this is a terrible, painful situation. There is no happy solution, here. I am proud of you for standing up. This is what [U]had[/U] to happen next. You handled it well. It hurts, but that's okay. You will be fine. Cedar [/QUOTE]
