[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 669816, member: 17635"] and, i relate with each and every one of you. This may not make you feel any better, but after 15+ years, the resentment has long dissipated. I used to feel that resentment. This most likely sounds silly, but I dreamed of husband and I driving to his college town and visiting, perhaps going to a football game and out to eat....and just laughing and smiling. Of course, this fantasy disappeared long before he went to college......and even longer before he dropped out. These days, no feelings of resentment exist. I am just grateful he is alive. That is perhaps a perk of having a 34yo Difficult Child? o_O Years ago, a friend told me this - when he announced to his mom that he never asked to be born: Her answer: [I][B]Welllllll, whoooooo did?[/B] [/I] I found that to be such a grounding response, lol. Ashamedly, i remember telling my mom that same thing when I was about 14 and in much angst. SS [/QUOTE]
