[QUOTE="Methuselah, post: 459410, member: 12725"] Hi Seriously. I'm sorry your family is going through this. I understand how you feel. I have thoughts about difficult child 1 I thought I would never have about anyone, let alone my own child. So along with the stress and exhaustion is guilt. When difficult child 1 was 14, she informed us she was leaving at 18. I told her to remember that 18 is a magic number for everyone involved, because it is the first day of choice: she can choose to leave; we can choose to have her stay. On my phone, I have an app with the count down. When I am feeling seeing no end in sight, I open the app. It shames me to do that, but it is the only way I can through this mess. I wish I had more advice, but know you are not alone. We are few and far between, but we are out here. [/QUOTE]
