[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 481204"] Thanks all... it sure helps to have people who really understand!! Nancy - my husband and I are basically on the same page. I don't think he feels it as much as I do, or lets it get in his way of his life, he is much better at compartamentalizing than I am. But he is supportive of me and we are on the same page in terms of not helping difficult child any more. I think I feel angry and husband feels more disappointment. husband was on a business trip, leaving the same time difficult child was supposed to. I am really glad he is home... because it was hard being here by myself all week. I had my daughter but really I try not to talk to much about it with her. And I am on weight watchers trying to lose all this extra weight I have (I have lost 40 pounds so far) so really the chocolate thing is not healthy for me..... but i just got back and I stayed the same this week which is a good thing. I know I eat for stress but am trying to keep focusing on taking really good care of myself and not let my difficult child and his junk derail me too much. I had a moment of sadness and went momentarily to that place of what could we have done differrently.... but had to stop that line of thinking. Really he is 20 years old and we have offered him loads and loads of support and treatment and he chose this time to blow us all off.... and it will catch up with him. You can't just blow off the court like that and expect there to be no consequences. Time will tell.... just don't know if it will be days or weeks. TL [/QUOTE]
