[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 525203, member: 59"] RM your post made me cry because it is exactly how I feel. At times I think all we did the past 20 years was babysit difficult child, nothing we did changed the predetermined outcome of her life. Years ago we feared exactly this would happen. There were so many early signs of serious trouble ahead and we try to hard to deal with them along the way and once they become adults we finally have to give up. But we spend all of money and energy and love trying to change them at the expense of the rest of our family and our own health. There are some people who should just never have children. I'm sorry if that sounds harsh but I am soooooo angry right now at what we were left to deal with. If you could fast forward our lives twenty years ago to now, this would be it....nothing absoultely nothing could have changed the outcome. I feel like a fraud was perpetrated on us, like they knew and didn't tell us. I feel like we were used. I do think final closure is sometimes better, I know it would be for me rather than living in this state of complete panic and despair. I guess you can tell I'm having a bad day so I better go do something to try to change it. Nancy [/QUOTE]
