[QUOTE="dragonfly57, post: 764230, member: 32228"] Hi SlimMunky, I am so sorry you are going through this. I recently landed here as well and I found it to be incredibly welcoming, supportive and comforting. So many brave and wise individuals, fellow warriors sharing their battle stories as they too have been in the trenches. I am so grateful for their insight and wisdom as I release my vulnerabilities to complete strangers without judgement. I am not qualified to give advice, but speaking from experience, if I could go back many years knowing what I know now, I would not throw money at the problem and do nothing to keep my daughter comfortable. Obviously we don't have a crystal ball, but maybe it would have saved many years of anguish and not prolong the inevitable, as it is enabling, and I did that. Yes, it is so hard, and seems impossible at times as it feels like the right thing to do because you love your child. But I now understand the power of the word NO. And I am saying NO because I love you. The amount of stress is indescribable and is too much for any person to endure. It breaks your spirit, weighs you down resulting in poor health and depression. We were not meant to carry this heavy burden alone. We keep it inside, hide it from the world, and resort to the quick feel good, just trying to cope in this storm that hits us hard, fast and furious. We just want to feel numb, and I think that is a normal reaction to an abnormal situation. We must find healthier ways to deal with the stress. Get and stay healthy for ourselves first.
