[QUOTE="wakeupcall, post: 673412, member: 2287"] [B]I know about feeling like the bad guy, I do too. DCs father will undoubtedly shake his finger at me for being a bad mother for not inviting Difficult Child over for Thanksgiving. I.Just.Don't.Want.The.Drama!(They live together, but only because my EX has no guts to kick DCs lazy buttom out.) All he does is suck the life out of his father, con him for money, sleep all day and run all night. He calls me for lunch, then stands me up. I quit giving him $$ a long time ago, now he doesn't even ask, but now he has very little time for me, of course. I'm so sorry, Upallnight. This journey is not what we picked and not what we wanted. I've hardened also and I, too, think it's PTSD. My daughter who is not a Difficult Child (I guess), has made me hardened toward her, too.(For her treatment of me after the divorce. Good grief, she was a grown woman of 40!) She and her family live so far away that that has trickled to my grandchildren since I can't work on a relationship with them. I just can't play the game any longer....tired of it. I have a great new husband who loves me and resents the crap my children put me through....all the down days, all the tears, the broken heart. Each day I put on the smile, one of these days it will stick..! Keep trying, Upallnight. And if I were you, I wouldn't go there for Thanksgiving. Like I said, TOO MUCH DRAMA..[/B] [/QUOTE]
