And what would you do or say differently now based on all the years and what you have learned? My difficult child was 15 , I was in shock,scared, yes tried to control took it personlly, as I was a devoted homeschool mom who deciated her life to chneel her in poistve activies. She now will be 19 in April. I think I am a lot better at taking care of myself, I accept it most days, I still have to say the Sereinty Prayer on a daily basis,what can I really contol?boudnaries, but mostly taking casre of me and detatching. I am still advocating but trying to be more realsitc. I am in the process of trying to get her nto a dual diagnosis facitility. I have leanred to protect us better, emtinally and fincnacially.
