[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 623807, member: 17269"] Child, thank you for taking the time to fill us in...you are right, your peeps needed to know! It sounds like you are taking a lot on, but it also sounds like you are pacing yourself...taking care of what needs to be taken care of in your own life, and doing "one step at a time" with difficult child's issues. I don't know that any of us can do better than that. Your story about your parents is heartbreaking. The loving concern of people who are in a different place in their relationship to difficult child, and the concern that that very love will derail either them or difficult child...it is such a delicate place, and you are so vulnerable right now that it must be very sad and very hard. I think your strength and love for all concerned really shined through in that exchange. I'll pray for you, and for difficult child. I hope he feels a bit safer and in a place with better boundaries in jail than he did on the street. I hope he internalizes some of the structure there. The x box is pretty telling, really. Deep breaths, Child...one day at a time. YOu are doing so well. Life is very long, as it turns out. I hope that difficult child will continue to learn to cope and thrive. Echo [/QUOTE]
