[QUOTE="Andy, post: 200548, member: 5096"] You are definatly a mom who loves her kid. It is hard for moms to enjoy life when their kids are miserable. We think we can only be happy if everything and everyone in our world are happy. Makes detaching so much harder for us. I am sorry you are feeling guilty but just remember that difficult child I was the one to make the choices to get him where he is at. He has to really want to change and take control of himself before he can change. As long as he is safe, has meals and a place to sleep, go ahead and enjoy your days. Send him the message that you have done everything you are able to do and unless he takes responsibilities for his actions, there is nothing more you can do. Now, what about difficult child II? I know the super frustration of having a kid in your face who will not back down. I have not yet learned how to handle that except to do as you are and just not engaging. You are still doing a great job. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
