[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 691503, member: 20054"] Hi Skool. Great job protecting you. As I've read your post I so felt "oh my gosh, does she really need one more person telling her about her daughter?" Let alone someone you don't really know. People and their drama. we've all had enough for a lifetime. I know that those who have not been there often have lots of advice but this lady needs to know to deal with your daughter not you. Now you are making it clear that you are "not her keeper". sounds so familiar...we are always missing the point and there's always[I] until.[/I]..until my settlement, until my tax return, until I get paid...until pigs fly. I actually read your initial post to my hubby last night and he winced in pain. Ugh. Our son also has been out since Feb. and has contacted us once. Hubby saw him, I chose to not be home. It's best just to know he's breathing but to not interact with him for me. I know I can't take it. I was so close to the edge of a breakdown before he left. Walrus said it best-- No her life doesn't have to be this way and neither do ours. I kind of felt "slapped" when I read that but It is the most truthful, isn't it? You deserve better. It's odd that if anyone else treated us the way our kids do, we would have no qualms about separating from them. We would do it quickly in whatever way seemed appropriate. When our kids step on us with disrespect of every form and we continue to engage we teach them it's o.k. It is not o.k. for me anymore. Does it hurt? Sure, but it is right. I hope holding your ground is empowering for you, you've done all you can. Prayers. [/QUOTE]
