[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 438515, member: 1233"] Thanks, Mr. S. Your post means a lot to a lot of us. the change in you is pretty impressive and we have seen many people come and go who never got to that point. My difficult child is grown and has been out of my home for many years now, but like Hound Dog I am here every day. This is my family as much as the one I was born into. Or more. I am glad that you could move past that reactionary harsh hurt that you had when you got here and learn that maybe there was more going on than you could handle. I still think it was a very loving and amazing thing that you did for your sister and nephew. Regardless of the outcome, you did the best you could at that time to try to help. You had your own kids in another part of country and you still sacrificed to go and try to help your sis and nephew. That is HUGE. So many of us have families that are happy to tell us how we have mucked things up and how our every move with our difficult children is wrong but we still cannot get anyone to actually DO anything but criticize and judge us. Or they fall for the difficult child-isms that place the blame on us and they do things to make everything worse for us and our difficult children. The suggestion to let your sis know that you were doing what you could and hope she understands that you were so strongly upset by the entire experience that you did/said things that might have made her feel judged is great. And that you hope in the future you won't make her feel that way, of course. You have become a very welcome member of our family and I for one really enjoy seeing your perspective on things. So often it us just us moms and Marg's Man here, with maybe 1 or 2 other men. Men truly see the world diffeerently than we do and hearing a male viewpoint that has real difficult child experience behind it is truly helpful. At least to me. [/QUOTE]
