[QUOTE="janebrain, post: 201489, member: 3208"] Hi Bran, I really feel for you. I have absolutely hated my kid and wished I never had her. I don't feel that way anymore--once she is out of your home it will help a lot with those feelings. I also know the anger you feel after doing so much for her, trying to save her from herself, etc. I often feel angry about all the time and money we spent trying to help my difficult child and basically seeing no results although I think it did result in her being able to live on her own and that sure is a blessing! She may be throwing her life away now but she is still so young, she may do better with time. I think detaching is essential--knowing that whatever she does is out of your hands and being realistic about her, but with the detachment you can still hope she will do better some day. It is just that your own life doesn't depend on that hope. I am sure you are counting the days til she is 18. I know my dtr couldn't wait to turn 18--she didn't realize I couldn't wait for the day either! Hugs, Jane [/QUOTE]
