[QUOTE="gma, post: 462234, member: 12738"] Thank you for your support and sharing your most personal life challenges. It feels safe here and allows for sharing, asking, admitting, what we may or may not be comfortable discussing with the closest concerned family and friends. I know for me, I just feel like I want to talk to them about anything but this. I try not to go there, even to the extent of just not taking calls from life long friends. When we do talk, it's always there, of course out of concern and then I just feel so bad that I am an exhausting friend, daughter, mother, etc! Comments or responses from so many are everything from such anger, that then I see myself getting in my mama bear posture, and dang it, I don't want to defend any of difficult child actions or choices, but if I'm not careful instinctively I'll go there (this especially happens with Grandma, who worries about me. I try to stay far away from those conversations at all costs!). Then there are those that give well meaning ideas from picking up and moving (how realistic is that!), and besides, if my difficult child wants to go down this road, she'll find it no matter where we take her! Again, thanks for the outlet - Good thoughts going out to each of you! [/QUOTE]
