[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 668116, member: 17542"] Lil and Jabber, I used to have these dreams...okay, fantasies...that someone, anyone in my family might be able to get through to Difficult Child and make it all better. Because my family lives 11 hours from where I live, and where Difficult Child lives, that never happened, and I'm glad it didn't, because I realize today that nobody or nothing could have changed things unless he wanted it. That said, I so understand your sister, Jabber, making another try, and you know, that's okay. People do what they can live with, and I'm sure, like you both said, she has her reasons that are hers alone. Either it will work or it won't, and it's not on you. Maybe you can rest a bit, knowing he's "under roof". That always helped me, even when I knew it was prolonging his inevitable. We can all likely predict what will happen, but what do we know? There is always hope. I think your determining this way, way ahead of time is nothing short of brilliant. When you know a situation is going to be very hard, make a plan. that's what you have done here, and that shows tremendous presence of mind in a very tough situation. Hang in there. This too shall pass. [/QUOTE]
