[QUOTE="blackgnat, post: 598892, member: 13561"] I totally understand your feelings of dread at having your difficult child move back in. This has happened to me before, when I thought we were out of the woods and that there was light at the end of the tunnel. My difficult child would resurface-after another stint at rehab, detox, jail or a geographical "cure" that wasn't. My feelings of doom would engulf me. Try not to feel guilty-difficult children are incredibly hard to live with. Your nerves are always on edge and you can't really relax and feel at peace in your surroundings. Hopefully your difficult child will see this as a new start and abide by the rules you put in place. It will help that she has a source of income and the daily focus of a job, as well as some plans for the future. But I know that feeling of anticipation, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Looking for signs that they're going to do what they always did... Try and focus on you and your husband as much as possible. Sometimes when you're in the midst of the difficult child drama, you can forget the other important relationships in your life, as the difficult children suck up all the energy in the house. But at least you have each other to lean on! Best wishes to you. [/QUOTE]
