[QUOTE="gsingjane, post: 584220, member: 15986"] Okay the whipsaw starts again! Wasn't it ... how many minutes ago that there you were, looking at him tenderly sleeping, feeling sorry and sad... my goodness I have LIVED this again and again. My difficult child would be on the phone with me, crying hysterically, begging for another chance, telling me how much he loves me, how grateful he is for all we've done... I'd get off the phone, go check the bank account, and sure enough, another forgery, another unauthorized charge, another theft. My heart would be melting and then stop, instantly. It would be like, who IS this psycho??? RE has wonderful advice to try and let go of the drama if you can. I know how hard it is, I really do. It's not like anybody else in the world, you can give a spouse the boot, you can write off a friend no problem, you can even decline to communicate with a parent but when it's your child, it feels like it's just a whole different category. Try to stay calm, try to just be a feather floating on the waves, let all the drama and turmoil just crash and burn underneath you. Easier said than done I know! [/QUOTE]
