[QUOTE="witzend, post: 375238, member: 99"] I think she is clueless about things. But I have to tell you that if anyone in my family ever said to me about either of my children: "[I]True, we had no business getting involved to the extent we did when we were a part of life and I don't know what else to do except to keep repeating how sorry I am for my role in your and [B]difficult child[/B]'s problems." [/I]I would not have a clue as to what to do. I don't ever expect to hear from anyone in my family again. My children are messed up. I'm messed up. I don't know if you saw my FB post with Desmond Tutu's quote on forgiveness. I had actually posted it for a friend going through a nasty divorce who can't stop crying. She knows to some extent that she overstepped her bounds and she said she was sorry. Some of us will never hear that. You can still be angry at her and/or hate her. You're only human. But you don't have to live it. I know her response is like picking an infected sore right now, but I hope that you will be able to let it go. You can't change what happened. You can stop being consumed by it, and take away her power to hurt you (thereby making her a better person, too). {{{{{{{{{{{{Big hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}} I'm really sorry for all that you and your family have had to go through. It's been a terrible time for you all. [/QUOTE]
