[QUOTE="Steely, post: 98724, member: 3301"] Oh Heather....... I SO understand! About 6 years ago I lost my job as well...........and got divorced.........and difficult child was an absolute out of control mess. (even worse than now, imagine!) For the first time in my [i]whole[/i] life I asked my parents to help. I had always been so self sufficient, so independent, it killed me to ask them..........but I had to. For the first time ever. But you know what? As much as I thought it would knock my self esteem, and cause me to feel less than............it actually did the reverse. My parents and I connected in a way that we never had before, and I searched within myself and found a person I had never known before. Now 7 years later, I am working again, and self sufficient, but you know what? That bond with my parents is still growing, and that connection to myself is still as deep. You just never know, the journey life leads us on, and what the end result will be. None the less, never feel as if asking for help will bring you anywhere but to a new plain in life. Wishing you all the best. Willow [/QUOTE]
