[QUOTE="Im a Believer, post: 357674, member: 6448"] As you can tell by my signature - I deal with a lot ~ 3 difficult children. I have been trying to throw away my codependent coat and take control of the only person I can - myself. I am setting boundaries - have had to have adult children leave my house due to disrespect - on the outside it may appear that I am making progress - but - I feel like I am dying inside. I feel like a failure - I haven't been a strick consistent parent - I have raised my children without the help of their father and they were pretty old when their stepdad climbed aboard the train. I live with A LOT of guilt - guilt I caused these problems with my children and guilt there's nothing I can do about it. I've tried CODA - doesn't work for me. Going to counseling ~ taking an antidepressant - is it my attitude? Do I just need to pull up the boot straps and get on with it? I'm tired of living this way. Anyone else feel defeated? What did you do to beat it? Thanks for letting me vent - not a good day ~ [/QUOTE]
