[QUOTE="Hopeful97, post: 673729, member: 19678"] Thank you al, for your words of wisdom. I know exactly how you feel. I am so greatful that I found this group of people I do not feel so alone. We made it through thanksgiving. We had 2 celebrations, the first at my in-laws, Difficult Child was there started whispering things to me and hubby. I was able to go to a different area, I did not let it ruin my day. Hubby got very down. We went to 2nd celebration at my sisters. We thought Difficult Child would show up because sister talks to him sometimes. Sister told me she did not think Difficult Child would show because she got angry with him again for things he tried to say on Facebook. Anyway, I like what you all said about feeling numb, that is how I think I am feeling. I just do not really feel anything. Difficult Child called I have not been taking his calls not sure why I answered but I did. He said hearlier did not make it to 2nd celebration because he was locked up. Do not really hear anything else he said because it's usually lies. I find that anything he tells me I really do not hear because of being lied to for so long. I know he is young (18) but after reading on this site and talking to you all I believe he has a better chance of turning things around. Leafy, I am sure with grandkids involved it is even harder.
