[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 69284, member: 2211"] BBK, your words definitely ring true to me right now. After our counseling session was spent going over my family's alcoholism and determining if H's alcoholism helped difficult child get to this point (*possible alcoholism), difficult child announced that she'd like to move out of my house as soon as she secures a job. Well, the counselor said we didn't have time to talk about that, but we should think about it and talk amongst ourselves. All of it was buzzing around inside my head and I actually allowed myself to daydream of her being out of our home and I allowed myself to feel the slight glimmer of relief and freedom and yes, HOPE, that she'd quite possibly learn something for herself instead of everyone who loves her pointing it out to her all the time. She's only 17 and just enrolled in 2 classes, and jobless, so she's not going anywhere soon, but I am anticipating some big changes this winter. I guess we'll see. Janet, thanks for much for sharing that list - it's great. I printed it out as a gentle reminder to myself not to become so wrapped up in all of difficult child's crap. [/QUOTE]
