[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 155762, member: 3419"] [I]Ugh I just want to go to bed for a year or two[/I] I know the feeling. But the fact is, it's S2BX who's in rehab, not you. It's your difficult children that are difficult children, not you. It's your outlaws who hate you because THEIR son is in rehab and they're in denial. It's your mom who's relentless and insensitive and --oops, now there's one place where you can put your foot down and carve out a space. Tell your mom that you would appreciate it if she could either sympathize or butt out. But maybe say it more nicely. Why is she living with-you, again? I have a friend who divorced her alcoholic husband and for yrs, her outlaws were cruel and totally one-sided. Ex worked for his dad, and after several yrs of major screwups at work, they finally figured out that there WAS something wrong with-their son, and lo and behold, they started being nice to my friend!!! It took yrs but it did happen. Luckily, her family and friends were very supportive so she was never alone. Still, it's a long time to wait for vindication. Take care. [/QUOTE]
