[QUOTE="Star*, post: 92364, member: 4964"] A healthy attitude is paramount to living with these children: I have to believe that God thought we were incredibly special parents, tough, and right for the job. Despite the health issues. If you don't believe that try thinking about the last time something "Disastrous" came up in a life of someone you know and you sat back and went "BIG FAT HAIRY DEAL". It is however; VERY important to take care of yourselves first. Think about it: If you were to perish, WHERE would your difficult child be? This is how I was able to let difficult child go so many times to live in Residential Treatment Center (RTC)'s. He was killing me. Dead I was no help to advocate. Alive but apart I could try to do good. It was a horrible choice to have to make as a Mother, but since he's been gone? No heart attack issues, no stroke, I'm not loosing my hair, I haven't gained weight (I'm not loosing a bunch) but I have other health issues that need to leave and I'll be better and healthier. Puts a whole new spin on: If Momma ain't happy Ain't noBODY happy -doesn't it? [/QUOTE]
