[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 340481"] Ironically (Suz???) my first thought was hugs, hugs and more hugs. I too am sorry that you are down. Chances are super duper high that all of us have either felt exactly what you are feeling or something very very close to it. It is so frustrating when difficult children are in the picture. You try, try and try some more, but they just don't get it and life is often tough, stressful, worrisome, confusing, conflicting...etc. I'm rushing a bit at the moment (sorry...) but I can tell ya...I saw so many good things in your post. Love the way, that you can see some little positives in the middle of difficulties. Love the way that you are going out with your girlfriend! Healthy distractions are awesome! Discover/rediscover yourself! What do you like to do??? Well, do it! If you are on the PE forum, your kids are "older." Time for you to let much go/detach. Time for them to pick up the ball. Set up BOUNDARIES. If they are in the garage or some sort of separate from the house living arrangement...my guess is you have GOOD reason for this. Make sure boundaries are crystal clear and as best as you are able, try for you and your spouse (SO??) to be on the same page. A united front is hard to topple. And like Janet said...always good to spend time with your husband. Just saw what you said about taking those weeks off! This is WONDERFUL. Do you plan at least one really fun thing to do that week?????? Enjoy! Even with- the difficulties...push through...enjoy life. HOld on fast to those that have helped you along the way....gather your strength and put one foot in front of the other and enjoy life as best as you are able! If you continue to have toooo many "down" days, I do hope that you are able to seek professional counseling. Believe me, many of us have felt the need. Wishing you well (hugs). [/QUOTE]
