[QUOTE="mom_to_3, post: 593879, member: 30"] I understand you. I think our individual life experiences and where we are emotionally determines how much we "get" the next person. What I expected my life as a mother to be and how it all played out as far as my difficult child is concerned, is completely so very different. If I hadn't lived it, I would never had believed any of this was a possibility. I truly thought that I would be walking in your same shoes and I was prepared to do so. Life changed for us and I didn't have to sever ties permanently. Our relationship is much better, but will never be the relationship I had dreamed I would have with my difficult child. It is doable though. You're in a good place when *you* are at peace with your decision, and it sounds like you are there. My "journey" with my difficult child has taught me to judge less, other people. Peace. [/QUOTE]
