[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 598294, member: 2196"] I am so glad I have the support of all of you here. My mom seriously makes me think I'm a terrible parent and I've been struggling with these feelings for years. Thank you to each and every one of you for validating me and backing me up. My mom told me last week that she thinks difficult child belongs in a group home. She seriously wanted me to research putting her in a different living environment with somebody else more "responsible." That really hurt me. I seriously think my mom has some anxiety issues of her own. She is controlling to a fault and gets super anxious if she is not kept in the loop with her grandchildren 24/7. I have told her in the past that if she thinks she can do better with my kids then she can raise them. And I was being serious. I would love to see how much better she could do with raising two difficult children. But she blames my stepdad's bipolar for her not being able to take in my kids. She says he would become unstable if he were to be around my kids. What a cop out. Anyway, what she said about difficult child belonging somewhere else really hurt but I am getting over it in my own way. I am currently in therapy and she is always a big part of our discussion. With his help I am learning how to detach slowly but surely. Anyway I just want to say thanks to all who responded and for backing me up. I feel validated. [/QUOTE]
