[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 228963, member: 1436"] Shawna---you will never lose that feeling of waiting for the other shoe to drop. That's just a by-product of years with a difficult child. What you do learn, however, is that when it drops it is their responsibility to pick it up---and you have no guilt for letting them pick it up themselves. It is a freeing feeling, life without guilt. My dad was a major difficult child. The one thing he taught me is that you can't live your life fully if you carry the guilt for your own mistakes in life. Carrying the guilt for someone else is twice as burdensome, and it doubles when they make you feel like you are responsible. I'm glad you are learning to let go. It is a process. You will still have days that the what if thoughts will nag at you. Just push them down. Find something else to occupy your mind. Blessing to you and your family. [/QUOTE]
