Hugs to you Tara. We have all asked ourselves WHY and the answer is, there is no answer. You can drive yourself crazy trying to figure out what, where, why and how. My husband and I raised our only difficult child in a Christian home. We were a typical middle class family, we worked at the same jobs for 20 years, we always ate dinner as a family, we went to church every Sunday, etc.... There is no one size fits all when dealing with why our difficult child's choose the paths they do, they just do.
You are not alone in this, there are many here that have gone through what you are going through.
I am proof that you can survive the heartache and go on to live a life that holds promise and happiness.
Hang in there!!
