[QUOTE="JKF, post: 471085, member: 12470"] I'm trying not to feel guilty. But then it hits me...HARD. I realize that he'll never have a "normal" life. He didn't get to have the childhood that every child should be entitled to. He didn't get to do things that KIDS need to do in order to thrive. A big part of it is my fault. I was SO young and SO stupid that I honestly believed that he'd be better off living with his bio-dad and step mother. I never realized until years later just how physically and mentally abusive bio-dad really was!! I've tried explaining the situation to difficult child but all he has is anger and blame towards me. And rightfully so. I just wish he could let go of the anger and move on. I've been trying to do everything in my power to help him and nothing works! On a side note - just got a call from their bio-dad's brother. Apparently bio-dad, who is in prison for armed robbery, is VERY sick. They think cancer. Not sure what I should do regarding this situation but I don't know if difficult child can take that news right now. He has expressed so many times how much he HATES his father and wants him to die but I know that deep down he loves him even after everything bio-dad put him through. [/QUOTE]
