[QUOTE="Feeling Sad, post: 670143, member: 19245"] Greetings, ladies. How are we doing? Are you both trying to decide whether or not to call your child? I know that you are both in turmoil about what you should do. I am not the one to ask, because i am in a very desparate place. But, I understand your dilemmas. I hope that you find peace and that you do what you feel is best. My prayers are being sent out to both of you. If you have called, may you be strong no matter what happens. But, it is okay to feel weak, confused, or sad. Just be 'strong' in the resolve that you have always done the best that you can. It is so very difficult being a parent to a troubled child. Remember how easy it was when they were little? I have been reading about complex ptsd. It can be brought on by continued trauma...it stated that constant bullying by a sibling where one is not protected by parents can cause complex ptsd. It also stated that continued trauma can cause a person to stay in bed and not get up. Mine, living with several mentally ill people where your safety or life is in danger, can also cause it. New rule for the four strong warriors...no apologies allowed! Feeling that we have done something wrong...when we haven't is the first thing out the door! If you agree, ROAR... No more. We were made to feel badly about ourselves. It stops now. Wonderful, caring, supportive people, never have to apologize. No more saying that we are sorry. I have done it all of my life. People have asked me why I always apoligize. It is a horrible, demeaning habit. It ends tonight. [/QUOTE]
