[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 365245, member: 1233"] I know you were already stretched to the breaking point and still you gave him a chance. That is so much more than he is doing for himself. You are right, he is not willing to change for even 5 minutes. Hopefully someday he will hit bottom and turn things around. Until that time he is lost. Next time you are down on yourself think back to this. You knew it was a bad time for you but you still opened up your home to him and tried to help. You are not here to have sunshine blown up your tailpipe, but you are a pretty awesome parent and a pretty incredible person. When you deal with chronic health problems it is easy to not see your good points, to focus on the bad stuff. Add a difficult child to it, esp one determined to blame you for everything, and it becomes hard to remember you even HAVE good points. So when you are down, please think back to this time. To how you gave up part of your chance for respite while difficult child was away so that you could give this child of your heart a chance when he was so in need. Even if you don't easily see it, you are a pretty awesome mom and friend and woman. [/QUOTE]
