[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 652225, member: 17461"] Not a step back. You have a right to know. It is what you do with the information, it is how you see yourself and how you treat yourself now, that is what matters. Be wise and be wary. Great response. Good for you! :O) I am sorry for the mishmash of emotions and for the hurt and confusion and anger and shame. You handled it so well. [I]difficult child will be wondering where she stands, now. The changes in you will puzzle and maybe even frighten her. If you can frighten her enough, perhaps she will change, too.[/I] [I]If not, the strength and changed perspective about who is the guilty one here will help you survive the choices your child is making intact. I am so glad the grandmother texted you regarding her grandchild. That indicates trust and respect. Sorry, but I cannot turn the italics off. Whatever I write continues to come in italics. Please disregard those darn italics. They are not intentional. None of this is easy. You are doing so well. There is nothing easy about any of this. What is happening to our children is tragic. Here on the site, we are trying to learn how to survive it. Once again, I think you are handling all of it so well. Your advice to the mother-in-law, the support the mother-in-law obviously feels for you and the love she feels for her grandchild ~ these are all places of strength for everyone in the family. When our daughter went into inpatient at a dual-diagnostic for the first time (at fourteen), both my husband's parents were there the next day. There was nothing they could do either, but they loved her (and us) enough to be there for their granddaughter.[/I] Husband's mother (Hey! The italics are gone!!! :O)) would remain a staunch support for both husband and myself through all the hellish years to come. So I am glad you have a mother-in-law like that. I know what you mean. I am sorry this is happening. You are here with us, now. We will all get one another through whatever is coming, next. Cedar [I][/I] [/QUOTE]
