[QUOTE="greenrene, post: 535655, member: 9177"] Ha, Star! Sometimes I WISH I could send her one-way to stay with her (total difficult child, deadbeat, addicted, can't-hold-a-job, lost custody of her OTHER child too) mom for a while so she'll quit complaining about how much we totally suck and how much she hates our family. A couple of days with her mom, and I guaran-damn-TEE she'd be calling us BEGGING to come home. It's amazing how much more peaceful it is around here... easy child 1 and I (we're her favorite targets) are in heaven. This is REALLY making me be more and more in favor of sending her to a therapeutic boarding school. My inlaws have the means to send her to one and would be willing to fork it over, it's just that my husband (who went to boarding schools when he was younger) is pretty much dead set against it. It's a complicated situation, and I do understand and respect his position, but I think she would really benefit from it. I'm already trying to figure out a game plan for when she comes home - I don't want to lose this sense of serenity! I NEED it. I'm getting to understand more about how much difficult child is really having an effect on my mental (which leads to physical) health. Part of me feels guilty for being SO glad she's not here, but that also tells me how bad it truly is with her here... I'm in survival mode with her. That's no way to live! [/QUOTE]
