[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 632369, member: 17461"] You are doing great in taking your time, in reserving the right to think things through, Strength. I think it's a good idea for us to remember how defenseless we were where our kids were concerned, and to give ourselves credit for the progress we have made. Whatever your response, I believe this is the first salvo in what is going to be a pretty intense escalation. Am I wrong, or was girlfriend planning to move home with her welcoming, all forgiving family the last time she wrote you? And didn't she sort of rub it in about how you should be as loving, kind, and forgiving as her people were going to be to her now that she had somehow accidentally lost her job and blown all her own money? Your intuition is right on, Strength. I know how impossibly hard it is to stand up to the kids and even more, to our own selves, in the beginning. You two are doing great. Cedar P.S. Each of the responses you received were good, but I think COM response was strongest. Least said, the better. I had never heard Recovering's statement about our difficult children finding goodness and love within. I really like that. It's beautiful. [/QUOTE]
