[QUOTE="Fran, post: 340082, member: 3"] Good morning Stella. So nice to see you again. It's so unfortunate that you are still having RSD pain. I don't know how you cope the pain plus the loss of your job. I know you to be such a go getter. Sounds like you have channeled your energy towards advocacy. Good for you. It's wonderful to hear how well your daughter is doing. Trust me when I say you are never really at the end with a difficult child. Give her a hug for me. I know what you mean when you see a mom drowning and want to help but everything in you wants to turn away. You just don't want to deal with it. Pick and choose what you want to do. You don't want to be a miserable whiner who complains because you feel put upon. Don't be a martyr. Do it with a giving heart but keep clear boundaries, in your own mind, of how involved you want to be. Keep your priorities straight. Anyhow, that's how I did it and still do it. Giving begins at home and expands in an ever widening circle. It's your choice of how involved you can be. My difficult child is doing well. He isn't emotionally volatile but he hasn't found his own path. He is unsettled but he has grown a good deal and knows more than he did a year ago. So progress is measured in small steps at present. It's good to hear from you. I hope things progress with the RSD and difficult child continues to be such a shining example of success. [/QUOTE]
