[QUOTE="Jody, post: 459397, member: 8787"] Seriously, I feel for you I really do!!! I have had some pretty awful thoughts about hurting myself, sometimes my difficult child. When that started and I woke up every morning mad that I woke up, then it was time for foster care. She went in to fostercare a little over a year ago and I sometimes find it hard to even say out loud, but life is wonderful without all of the insane, abuse and drama that she created. I was having a nervous breakdown and had become very physically ill also. I had to chose myself for awhile so that I could be healthy enough to raise a difficult child. I am not 100% sure that I can now, but I am much much closer. What I worry about is that my quality of life is going to change for the worse again. I went to court yesterday and the court and DCFS agreed that she was not willing to do the work to get home. Everyone else has done their job and has done the work, but the one who should want to come home is doing the work. Raising a difficult child can suck the life right out of you and your family. I just didn't know who I was anymore. The guilt from having those feelings and being torn because you love them and then wondering if you really do, more guilt.
