[QUOTE="tunaq, post: 232745, member: 6597"] i, just like you and all the others, am still waiting on my apology that i highly doubt will ever come in regards to my very difficult stepson. i am fortunate enough to have a sister in law who sees what am i going through and sees me trying. she has always been my support system when i hit rock bottom and has tossed me many fabulous ideas that unfortunately failed. for Christmas though rather than an apology, she sent me the biggest thank you ever! she sent me a pair of diamond hoop earrings and when i called to thank her the response i received was " no, you deserve it for all you tolerate, do and put up with, so thank you!" when it comes to things with my stepson, everybody treats it differently than they do with my daughter. i can get criticized to death about my daughter but i get the "you're a good mom" compliment as well. it is the exact opposite with my stepson though. i don't get the compliment or the apology. i learned to take the compliments i do get and focus on them and know i am trying my best with my stepson and one day, somebody will thank me. it does not matter if it is for all i do for him, for all my efforts, or if it is just a thanks for letting me know i am not alone with a child like this. this place has become my thank you and my sanity lately. until that day, i just thank God and myself for each day i get through and i thank the ones who help me through it.
