[QUOTE="Second Time Around, post: 649107, member: 18739"] Hi Soootired. We're not really doing better than you are. We all have our bad days when we slip up. Don't get discouraged. You can change how you respond, but it may take awhile to get there. Just put one foot in front of the other. Also, don't feel guilty! You are not responsible for the decisions she makes. She is. Even if she has a mental illness, she is still responsible unless she's completely psychotic and can't tell what is real and what is fantasy. Mental illness is not an excuse to get out of doing what you need to do, although most of our kids seem to see it as one and try to guilt us into doing things for them so they won't have to. [/QUOTE]
