[QUOTE="cebeast, post: 62780, member: 3918"] Thanks for all the thoughtful responses. Its interesting that two separate threads seem to wind through some of the responses, briefly characterized as "I'm sorry that I ever did this to my husband" and "Maybe its you who is not ready to step up to the plate/what if it was your child?" Other interesting threads include those I have seen in the Parent Emeritus group. Right now I don't know the answer to what seems the $64 question often asked there: if necessary would she be capable of detaching (if it came to that), or does she see this as a cross to bear forever, regardless. Its also one of those questions that can't be answered until the moment it becomes a real choice. Yes, I have a copy of the Explosive Child, which she gave me. Seems fitting that when he stumbled on the book he ripped the cover off. For now we are in a holding pattern. I've seen the resentment and anger that her son has brought on in her daughter -- "why am I denied a normal life?" and a stand still is the best I can do while I wait and see how he responds to treatment --and I learn better how to deal with him. My thanks to all who took the trouble to respond, and to all the other posts on this forum that I have learned from. [/QUOTE]
