[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 74525, member: 3450"] Hi Carolanne, yes, I think your emotions are normal--I know that is the point I got to anyway! I just pretty much felt neutral--not angry, sad, hurt, just more of a matter-of-fact feeling. I'm glad for you--life does go on, with or without them, and we don't have to get on that rollercoaster with them. I found the freedom from the anxiety very refreshing! I now have a nice relationship with difficult child 1 but I had no expectation of that, didn't really care one way or the other. I think not only for me was this important but for her too--she has been able to cut the apron strings. I think for her own mental health it is best there is some emotional and physical distance between us. She needs her independence--we can't have a real close relationship because she doesn't know how to do that without becoming dependent and helpless. Anyway, good for you--you have been through so much! Jane [/QUOTE]
