[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 620919, member: 831"] Whew! How this jumped off the screen at me. I'm so sorry for you, your husband, me, and my husband and to all of those that these words resonate. I spoke with my mother the other day after having such a rough time with the difficult child son and to whom she is so close to. She was mortified, deeply saddened, and very angry (with him). The only words I can come up with anymore is, "Motherhood has pretty much been a disaster for me." I reflect on my parenting over the years. Did I make some mistakes? Oh yes, I most certainly did. Some were huge and if I could take them back I would in a heartbeat. Then, I think again, would it have really changed things THAT MUCH had I done things and acted different? Maybe, I hadn't decided to move back to my hometown? Maybe if I had been concerned less, or concerned more? I just don't know. It doesn't change what is NOW and what is now is a very sad place. I do take comfort in husband and I hope you do in yours. This is a tough time for mine. We are now dishing out a steaming hot plate of tough love to Son. It's been hard for husband, but I was straight up with him. You go back to your old behaviors with him, you do not support me. It was a hard spot for him to be in, but he's doing his best. Sending comforting hugs to you. [/QUOTE]
