[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 681690, member: 20054"] Rosie, you are so not alone and you certainly aren't a terrible mother. Isn't it odd that we would never have a friendship or even an acquaintance with a person like our child has become. We would self-preserve by not relating at all, to someone who lied, stole from us, disrespected and used us. BUT when that person is our child, our heart and mind lose their protective shell. Keep your shell-you've done all you could and then some. I know the sad story and begging can be so exhausting. We can accept that it's Friday, that's a fact. We can accept that the sun is shining or not, that's a fact. Somehow, although so difficult, accepting the fact of where and what our child is, helps with the profound sadness. "all of life's pain comes from unmet expectations", and we've had so many. You are strong already. Prayers. [/QUOTE]
