[QUOTE="Blindsided, post: 755452, member: 23811"] My Difficult Child would have drained me dry of every penny we saved for our old age (we are there now). I am so grateful I finally stopped enabling financially, even though it was extremely hard to hear about catastrophe after catastrophe. The thing is that to this day, nothing has changed. I finally realized the only one I could change was me and got to work. And, I mean work. I am still working at it, but steadily I am getting better at responding to my Difficult Child. I fight the darkness at times, but I have found a way to live my own life without guilt. I have regained my wacky ways, which is a very good thing. My husband was ready to leave me if I didn't get back on the road of life. I hope your Difficult Child learns to love this new arrangement so he doesn't jeopardize it, and that you gain the strength you need if he doesn't. Love and light to you MissLuLu. With a name like LuLu, you gotta sing! "When I'm singing, it's like I'm at home. And music is a great healer. I think I'd have been a basket case if I hadn't been a singer."
