[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 621424, member: 17542"] Me, too, Try! I just wrote on the other thread and then saw this one. I am so sorry, Try. We think we have things settled for a minute or two, take a deep breath and then another bomb drops. The constant up and down is so debilitating and exhausting. I agree with MWM, you must focus on your own wishes and desires here and now. What do YOU want for your home and household? Ask others to participate. If they won't, you can't control that. Decide what you and husband will do, talk to the others and suggest, and then let it all go. Tell your difficult child what you will and won't do. Tell her it's up to her and here is what you see. Then, try to back off, give it some time (I know, time isn't your friend right now) and see what SHE will do. She is 20 years old. She is an adult. As long as you keep on managing everything, she never will. Even in a crisis. It's so hard to stop in the middle of a crisis, but a crisis is a turning point. It's a chance for her to do something different, if you can give her some time and space to do that. We are here for you no matter what you do. You can only do what you can do and what you can live with today. Prayers and hugs and good thoughts going toward you and your whole family, Try. [/QUOTE]
