[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 657243, member: 17542"] Hope and joy...I can only imagine how you feel watching your step Difficult Child do it all. When I was reading your post I was thinking about my soon to be daughter in law who has never known Difficult Child except as a train wreck. She did not know him before. Her contempt for him and the remarks she has made to me about him have wounded me in deep deep ways profoundly. Intellectually I get it. But my heart doesn't. This disease is so cruel to everybody who comes in contact with it. I applaud your seeing how your behavior affects your husband. Of course it does. Even now with my new husband who has been amazingly supportive and understanding---he is in recovery himself and I know that has been our saving grace in grappling with my sons illness---I can still be wounded by a careless or quick remark about him. We are so vulnerable when it comes to our own children. But all we can do any of us is do the best we can with this awful disease and once we know better, we try hard to do better. We will also fail and we can make amends every time and forgive ourselves and hope others will forgive us. [/QUOTE]
