[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 599291, member: 3305"] Busywend, Trinity and Flowergarden...Thank you for the prayer! DDD, You are so right...easy child has played second fiddle to her brothers issues for a long time. I am doing my best to concentrate on her and give her the space she needs at the same time...it's a bit of a challenge. She is such an independent thing! Sus, Your post took me alittle aback and I have had to really stop and think about some of the things you said and asked. I do see my young difficult child as a "Manchild" not quite a man, not quite a child. I feel protective of his feelings to a degree...however, I DO NOT think that I put his feelings above his children's, MY GRANDCHILDEN. I love my grandchildren more than you can possibly imagine. I try to empower them when they are around me...I teach them to do for self. I want them to be okay no matter if they end up with a dad (young difficult child) that can love them for the long haul or not. I grew up fatherless. I know the pain involved. I will help them as best I can to carry on regardless of the situation and to not feel sorry for themselves but to be reminded that they are the best thing to have ever come from their mother and father's relationship. They are a blessing to our whole family. I know that I am as dear to them as they are to me. Please please NEVER suggest that I am putting young difficult child before those little angels...It is not true. I spoke with my daughter in law at length yesterday about getting counceling for herself as I feel young difficult child has mentally/emtionally had her trapped for a long time now. As I said before, It is time for her to move on...to take the lead before her children, My grandchildren, and let them know that they will be okay with our without young difficult child...that they will survive. As I said, Sus, not really sure how to take your post. I hope I am wrong about my perceptions. It has me a bit upset. LMS [/QUOTE]
