[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 461183, member: 4264"] I saw your post yesterday but did not have time to respond. I have a couple of minutes and wanted to first of all welcome you to the board. It's always sad to see new members, because it means another family in turmoil. At the same time, it always feels good to see a new member because that means they too have found this place and it is a fantastic place to ask for resources, talk with anonymity, share with parents who've heard it all, seen it all. We may not always have a magic answer, but we do try to lend support and offer ideas that might help each persons situation. You are in a very complex situation, having your own issues after years of abuse, then there are the kids that carry with them their own complex issues. I'm sure you know that it took years for your family breakdown of sorts, so it will also take time to get things back on track. The key is to start each day motivated to keep working away at things so that eventually you can see concrete differences in yourself, the kids, and the family dynamic. I too wonder if you have been able to leave that abusive relationship. Next I hope you can share more about the kids, especially those still living at home. What kind of counselling if any is in place for you? For your kids? I hope to hear another post where you can share a little more so that we might be able to be further supportive and perhaps have ideas that you can implement as a starting measure to get things rolling in the right direction. Take care and please do post again. [/QUOTE]
