[QUOTE="Fancy, post: 254620, member: 6691"] Hugs to you, and even though it's hard, try to remember that it's not your fault...I understand the conflict your going through. Guilt, because as a parent we're conditioned to feel like it's our fault, and we've failed somewhere. Mistrust, because we've heard all the promises before (which leads to guilt for the mistrust); anger, although it's hard to admit, we're angry that they treat us this way, (which leads to guilt for being angry) and so on...it's like a never ending rollercoaster that makes us feel depressed, angry and somedays like we're going to explode. I'm in negotiations with my daughter as we speak, about her coming back home. She's made all the right noises about being sorry, and having no right to expect anything based on her previous behavior...etc. Yet even as I'm dying to see her and hug her when she cries...I can't help wondering...Is she playing me again? Only time will tell, but I'll keep my fingers crossed for both you and I that this time, we'll find the right answer to help our children become successful happy adults. Don't give up hope:) [/QUOTE]
