[QUOTE="MissLulu, post: 755516, member: 24721"] Thanks, Blindsided, for your kind words. Disentanglement - yes exactly. This is what I seek. I no longer wish to be enmeshed in my Difficult Child's chaos. Part of my problem is fear and rumination. I'm constantly worried about what's coming next. If my Difficult Child is anything less than happy I fear that a 'meltdown' is coming or that there is something he is not telling us - job loss, legal problems or ??? Like many of our kids, my Difficult Child lies. I never really know what is actually going on with him and so I let my imagination take over. I don't want this for myself anymore. If he's not living in my house, I know I will still worry. However, I think the worry will be less pronounced and less specific. Hopefully in time I will learn to focus less on him. This is a terrible thing to say but here goes: I love my child deeply, but there's a lot about him I don't like and I'm happier when I'm away from him. [/QUOTE]
