[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 625750, member: 17635"] RE, What jumped out of me, reading what has recently transpired with your difficult child, is that she is all over the place and it made [B]my[/B] feelings jump around because of the erratic behavior. My heart sped up and it's not even my difficult child. (I obviously have a ways to go) But, YOU were calm. Part of me thought, [I]Oh no, here it comes. RE is gonna melt; this is too much.[/I] You did not melt; you did not freak/panic. Your acceptance shines through with your reactions. You give me hope. Like yourself and everybody else reading your posts, I wanted this to go a different direction...for your daughter to take healthy steps. But, working toward our acceptance makes a lot more sense...because expecting our difficult children to begin taking those healthy steps is a dream, a hope, maybe a miracle. But, we CAN change ourselves. And, you are living, breathing proof...you are walking the walk and not just talking the talk. Thank you for putting this all down for all of us. I am sorry that you have had all this happening, but I am happy for you --that you are doing so well. [/QUOTE]
