[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 73942"] First of all, welcome to the site. I'm glad you found us. You sound exhausted and overwhelmed. Are the kids in treatment or on any medications? Have you looked into respite care and in-home family services or wrap around services? You need a break. I'm not sure what agency you go through to get these services, but others on the board utilize them and can be of more help to you. As for oldest difficult child...it's not uncommon for children to idolize the absent parent whether difficult child or easy child. It just becomes trickier when you throw in GFGdom. Many of us have blamed ourselves at one time or another. However, you have provided stability and love when their parents wouldn't or couldn't. So, cut yourself some slack.
