[QUOTE="Red Chief, post: 333813, member: 8776"] Let me add to the chorus of YES answers! Personally, I'm doing OK. I think I might have some depression issues I need to get taken care of, but I know it has nothing to do with my difficult child. I just find it easy to keep calm & patient through all of the blowups, bad decisions, and such. If anything, I feel really sad for difficult child sometimes. I know she gets real embarrassed about the things she does (after the fact). As a parent, I can't help being embarrassed & sad with her. I just wish she was normal. wife on the other hand is really feeling terrible. She's had anxiety & depression issues most of her life due to her very bad upbringing. She is always trying to make all of difficult children problems her fault. Not to mention that wife & difficult child are like oil & water most times. difficult child knows how to push Mom's buttons and has no qualms doing it. Sometimes, I just feel like the referee, trying to keep them from fighting. One real nice thing about their situation is that they are both seeing the same therapist. She seems truly intrigued by them, and they both seem to respond well to what she's trying to do. [/QUOTE]
