[QUOTE="ChickPea, post: 750461, member: 24089"] Hey Welcome. Maybe you're getting co-dependancy and detachment blurred up a little bit, as it sounds like some of the detachment pieces resonated for you? I know I struggled, like you, with my mind always being on my Difficult Child (Difficult Child), when I should be enjoying my other children. I needed to allow myself to let go of that... kind of rewire my brain and force it at times. I still have a hard time with that and my Difficult Child is almost 30 years old now. I wasn't able to achieve 100% success, but I really worked hard to peel my thoughts away from what she was doing, how she was feeling, etc. and enjoy my other kids as much as I could. It was hard. Part of it was that guilt that someone else mentioned. Part of it was normal (my daughter has done some scary stuff), and part of it was habit (it became so normal to be on pins and needles). Please try to find a way to be present and enjoy the time with the rest of your family. Time slips by fast. [/QUOTE]
