[QUOTE="Jena, post: 415399, member: 4514"] i agree with you. sad thing is i dont' know her new friends or their parents. this is an entirely new crowd she's hanging with since the best friend dropped her due to the shoplifting incident. i'd LOVE help, truly. i welcome it. yet all i have now is me, her therapist and her school thats backing me fairly well i'd have to say. they've been right there every step of the way. amazing they've been actually. shari your right it isn't fair, it sucks, lol it hurts. yet it's life. life throws you things you do not expect. lemon into lemonade kinda deal. i get she's hurting, yet what she doesn't get that doing what she did last night wont' solve it, won't get us to a clearer point, hurting difficult child won't make difficult child better. odd thing is i'm seeing improvement with difficult child right now, the cbt thing seems to be helping slightly. i always made time for her, always. it bites as a parent to give your all to the point where you get lost in it only to get beat up in the end. shari it's been one insane 8 mos. i got married, was happy, tan, rested, peaceful and returned to complete chaos in my world. i've been working double time to help both kids and keep my own head above water. yet it's getting to the point where i'm becoming depleted now. it's extreme. difficult child leaves next weekend for dad's and i think i'd like to leave for a few days. get a break, go to a hotel somewhere be alone. yet if i leave that'll be one more reason for easy child to hate me. she's super manipulative also. she plays me, than she gets me to get my guard down and than attacks me. she's vicious really. so today i'm taking out the 3 little ones. asked the wicked ex if i could have kids. we're doing pizza and movies than later dropping my step son and taking stepdaughter and difficult child home so they can have a sleepover. they make me calm and happy. yet i feel like there's this little box i'm stuck in. husband thinks that handling it the way he did last night was right. he's clueless. i said when i'm being attacked like that you stand by me, not against me in a sense. yet he'll never change. i've told myself i'm giving it time before i make any major life changing decisions i gotta get clarity first, things on track here than i'll make my decision regarding him. thanks by the way. :) [/QUOTE]
