[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 633374, member: 17720"] Cedar, even with most of your message lost I totally understand. I was the stay-at-home parent too, so when things went south I felt I was clearly the responsible party and that surely everyone else knew it. That guilt and self-hate has colored the relationships with the people already in my life. So there was the damage difficult child did directly, and there was the damage I caused because I treated them less than lovingly when I was consumed with guilt. And it has also prevented me from "getting out there" to build new relationships with people who would "love me back," so to speak. [/QUOTE]
