[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 625941, member: 17542"] This is a great idea. Getting far far away will give you a brand new perspective and you will come back with fresh eyes. Then try Colorado and see how things work out there with good boundaries between you and easy child. Do what you want to do with difficult child. If you have "done too much for now" cut back for a while. Unfortunately, we often try to give a little to our difficult children because we want to, and then they see the door cracked open and they try to push it wide, wide open instead of just accepting what we offer. When that happens, cut back. You don't have to say all of this. Just do it. Less talk and more action. Fewer phone calls and care packages. Silence for a while. Wait for a while. Spend the time and energy on yourself. Go to the land of kangaroos and koala bears! Have a blast. You've been through the fire, and it's time for you. All of these other folks will get along just fine. Just let them. [/QUOTE]
