[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 608247, member: 13558"] Dance, I felt so much guilt from the problems in my marriage and the dad left with zero contact, about 20+ years ago. It took me a very long time to come to terms with the guilt. My friend has a full blown adult difficult child and she told me she never felt guilt - she raised them all the same. Sounds like you did too. Detaching is not easy at first, then you realize it is all you can do. It does seem cold to people not involved with a full blown difficult child. Many of my relatives don't understand, so I don't discuss it with them. One of my closest relatives, whom I love dearly, was one of my biggest critics. She is beginning to understand now that her son has married a difficult child. Detachment does not mean that you love them any less, it means that you understand it is out of you control. I never give up hope, I just don't hold my breath lol. The weekends were always the hardest for me. I hope you are feeling better and find peace. (((hugs and blessings))) [/QUOTE]
