[QUOTE="Im a Believer, post: 219447, member: 6448"] I am thankful I found this forum ~ I will try to summarize this ~ I have 6 children, yes 6 - from a 20 year abusive marriage. I ended the marriage 8 years ago. Most of the children are now adults and acting out due to the pain of their childhood. I am the only involved parent in their lives for the most part therefore I am the target for their anger. Two of my sons are into drugs and alcohol - they are spiraling down ~ I have done everthing I can and after many co-dependent meetings and reading several good books - I have concluded I must get out of the way and Let God have His way in their healing - I cannot heal them. It is not easy - My children have always been my life and one of these two sons was the most abused by his father and I always had to protect and comfort him - I can no longer do that. I am looking for encouragement and support ~ My oldest daughter has me feeling like I am on a roller coaster ~ She loves me - She loves me not ~ My three younger children were spared from much of the abuse - I left the marraige when they were younger - Although, I do see depression setting in off and on in their lives as the waves of disfunction sweep thru our lives. Any comfort is appreciated ~ [/QUOTE]
