[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 653324, member: 18516"] Well, I had really hoped you would have a better outcome. I'm sorry it turned out the way it did. I think your parting words to her were perfect. Her response is very typical. It's good that you let her go, there was nothing else you could do. Bravo!!! This is how you set boundaries and you stuck to it. Good Job!! Anger is good thing. It's part of the process. The emotions we go through with our Difficult Child is parallel to the stage of grief. 1. Denial 2. Anger 3. Bargaining 4. Depression 5. Acceptance I think you can experience more than one emotion at a time as you work through them but ultimately the most important one is acceptance. I understand you feeling bad, that's part of a mother's guilt, however it's ok to be glad that's she's gone. I'm glad for you. This is good. You are working in the right direction. You will have ups and downs but you are gaining a good grasp on what you need to do for your own mental health. You are doing great. It does get easier as time goes on. :staystrong: [/QUOTE]
