[QUOTE="DDD, post: 51661, member: 35"] Welcome. Sadly I know there is no "answer" to the problems you are facing so I'll just suggest as some others have done. Do try to separate yourself from the family issues and look forward and upward and onward for determining your own future. I know it sounds a bit selfish BUT truly you are at a crossroad for your own future. My older children were my willing assistants in trying to keep GFGmom safe and under control. They never were able to express (to me or to counselors) how much they resented the constant strain etc....and I, naively, didn't "get it" in an adequate way. Going away to college and finding their own life without hearing daily details of life with difficult child made a huge difference in their respective futures. They both found careers they truly enjoy. They both found mates.....LOL.....one of whom is a delight! They took the years from 20 to around 28 to find out who "they" were, other than just being my precious adult babies. Get in the habit of saying the Serenity Prayer. Ask for the serenity to accept what YOU can not change. The courage to change what you CAN. The wisdom to know the difference. THEN......plan YOUR own future! Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
