[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 682322, member: 20054"] Welcome back SoooTired-I'm sorry you have to come though. In essence, we are all sorry to have to be here. You are so right, the drama can go on and on. Even though we don't like it much, drama must serve them well as they continue it indefinitely it seems. Even when it's quiet for awhile, I remain on guard, awaiting the next big catastrophe-what a way to live. Her brother, as an adult, can choose this or not and so many times DCs take it/dish it out differently to others. My other kids have all tried with my son and A. at least they know what we deal with ie. see the whole picture first hand B. just maybe they can be another voice of reason. It's good you have decided she can't come home with you. It seems you've tried without success before and so why do that again? The most helpful advice we've gotten is that when the drama or pity-seeking ramps up, just say "Oh?" This indicates you're listening yet your mind can be anyplace, blocking it out or trying to disengage. I also like "I'm sure you will figure that out". Put it back on her, it seems you have nothing left to give and yet she continues to press. I understand about your grand, I do miss my grandson too. I just hope someday he'll understand and we will have a relationship, he takes the brunt of having irresponsible parents and it's not fair is it? Do something for you today, take it slow, remember you are a good mom-this is just SO DARN HARD. Prayers. [/QUOTE]
