[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 583968, member: 13542"] JKF, I'm very sorry to hear this. However, I wouldn't address it as back to square one, because for over three months, your difficult child has had a roof over his head, which you assisted him in finding. That doesn't go down the drain, it was time well spent, for difficult child and certainly for you. Your feelings of disappointment and anger are absolutely appropriate, however, you are "not panicking or freaking out. This is VERY, VERY good. difficult child will be throwing stuff at you for awhile and you responded quite differently. This is something to acknowledge and give yourself credit for. In the three months you've learned a lot about detachment and how to respond without hurting yourself. So, don't look at it like he's back to square one, look at it like he had over three months of safety and when that ended, you responded in an appropriate and self caring way. You are simply now at another crossroads where choices will need to be made, end of story. And, since you know how to make good choices, you can trust yourself to know how to respond in this new circumstance. Good job! [/QUOTE]
