[QUOTE="Overwhelmed1, post: 755468, member: 24921"] When I look back I can see where I should have made different decisions when trouble started brewing. At the time however, I found myself focused on the issues at hand not contemplating all the effects my decisions may cause in the future. I believe most people react that way in the moment. I have a friend and our kids were friends. My friends outlook was so different from mine when it came to the kids. She was so much more strict and did many things for herself that did not involve her girls. I on the other hand, I was all about family and my kids. What I did, they were involved in. In the end we both had difficult children to deal with. In the end I think sometimes it just in the DNA. Don't look back, look forward. Enjoy the children that enjoy you and bring you joy. You will always love all of them but when the Difficult Child concludes that he or she can have the same relationship as you and the other kids have if they are enjoyable and not difficult, maybe they will come around. I am not the best person to be giving advice seeing how both my kids are difficult but I do hate to see you feeling down. I wish all the wonderful people here could get their hearts to stop hurting. I believe we think we have to hurt too because someone we love so much has chosen to make their lives miserable. Wouldn't it be awesome if we could all take our own advice we heartwarmingly share with each other. It's our loving hearts that make it so hard for us to see others hurt and it is 10 fold for our children. Please have yourself a good day and focus on all the good you have done. You deserve that... I hope I am not out of line saying these things. Peace and Love [/QUOTE]
