[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 616645"] I think as parents we ALWAYS have that desperate need to DO SOMETHING when our kid is on a risky path or in trouble. It's the most unsettling feeling in the world! Add our "difficult child parent radar" -- we always are trying to stay a step ahead of them - to that desperate need to do something (try anything!) to get through to them and it's a wonder that we're not bunked up together in an asylum!! I feel your anxiety. I wish I could take you to lunch and keep you busy to distract you from that awful feeling of anxious dread. I don't know that I cope well, but getting lost in a movie, a book, an ipad scrabble game (dozens back to back some days) taking a sleeping aide so I know I will sleep well that night seem to help or work to distract. So does a glass of wine (or 2) into the evening over a few hours but never 3 glasses because then the tears flow... Holding you close in my thoughts. Think I will light a candle for us all today, xo [/QUOTE]
