[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 63175"] There's little that is comfortable when raising a mentally ill child, as I'm sure you have already discovered. There are too many variables. Expectations have to be changed. Definition of success needs to be modified. With the right medications (if called for) and therapeutic interventions, great progress can be made. But it takes time. A lot of time, usually. And a lot of patience. by the way, I don't think it's shallow to not want to live in a violent, chaotic household with someone spewing hate and anger at you. Part of that is just normal boy stuff, I think (my son has never liked anyone I dated in the past...he never even gave them a chance...but he would never have told them to go f themselves), but it is made worse by the GFGness, if you will. There have been days that I don't want to live with my difficult child and I gave birth to her. Ultimately, you are going to have to decide what you can and can't live with and what you really want out of a relationship and if you see that desire or need being fulfilled with your current relationship.
