[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 315948, member: 1169"] Treasalin, Welcome home. husband and I became so isolated due to our difficult children behaviors. husband's friends from college (10-15 year very close friendships) just walked away. It was incredibly hard on him. We went years with no friends. It was so hard. Now that the boys are better behaved (still difficult children but not as bad) and Kanga is at an Residential Treatment Center (RTC), we are slowly building new friendships. Our family has been supportive, sometimes not in the best way (we did get a lot of the just love the poor babies) and our relationships with them are different, and in many ways less, than they would have been without adopting our difficult children. I found this board 8 years ago. I was desperate. CPS was suggesting that we disrupt our placement of Eeyore. The pressure from all sides was unreal. This board saved our lives (literally in Kanga and Eeyore's case as the people on this board helped me to find the help for them when they were suicidal). Please get your HMJ and pull up a chair and join our family. We limit our oldest daughter's (Kanga) contact with the younger children. It feels bad to 'break' those sibling ties but she is so inappropriate and they have a right to grow up safe as well. We will be starting sibling therapy via phone next month after Kanga being placed outside our home for almost 2 years. [/QUOTE]
