[QUOTE="graceupongrace, post: 393495, member: 7371"] Jena, So happy that you are finally seeing some progress. Even though with our difficult children it's often two steps up and one step back (and sometimes the reverse!), any forward motion is a BIG deal. :bravo: You have done an awesome job. I just want to share my concern (as others have expressed) that you take care of YOU. I know that seems impossible at this point, but I'm just starting to realize the toll my difficult child's issues have taken on me -- much greater both emotionally and physically than I realized at the time. If I had it to do over, I would still keep difficult child the priority, but I would not totally neglect my own needs, as I pretty much have done. I say this as a point of caring, not criticism. I have to remind myself that it's self-care, not self-indulgence. You truly are a warrior mom, Jena. Keep it up -- you ROCK! Hugs, grace [/QUOTE]
