[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 640168, member: 18516"] This is so true!! The key for all of us who have had to deal with our difficult child's is that we cannot lose ourselves in the process. I suppose age has something to do with it, I'm 51, life is too short to spend all the time worrying. One of my favorite movies is the Shawshank Redemption, there is a line in the movie "Get busy living or get busy dying" I will always love my difficult child but I cannot live his life for him nor will I allow him to hold me hostage to mine. It is so freeing to let go and to be able to live my life for myself and love it. I'm at the half way point (assuming I live to be 100) and I don't want to waste it. [/QUOTE]
