[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 278823, member: 3450"] Star, I agree, don't be so hard on yourself. It's easy to see how it all happened--it sure has happened to me with difficult child 1 before! We so want to think that because they have improved in so many ways that we can treat them like pcs but they really do seem to have a chronic problem with boundaries. Before my difficult child 1 moved out to the west coast she would come to visit and was really actually very polite--even asking if she could have a drink of water rather than just assuming she could do it and also cleaning up after herself, etc. But I bet if she was over for a week's visit she would slip back into her difficult child ways. It is just so much easier having her far away--I hate to say that, sounds so cold, but I just think a long distance relationship with a difficult child is a lot easier. I know she wants to come visit and part of me would like to see her and of course see my grandson but part of me is very resistant to her coming here. Anyway, I think you've figured out what you need to do and I'm sorry you had to! Jane [/QUOTE]
