[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 658684, member: 17635"] Your posts are just so overwhelmingly helpful. Thank you. I was lazy when I posted earlier. This is what I posted to Difficult Child, verbatim: [I]We love you, (his name). We always have and we always will. [/I]Certainly hope Difficult Child believed that. We are not in a contest on CD, but (and I have said this before) IF WE WERE, I would win prize for "meanest Difficult Child". While I read more horrific scenarios sometimes, our Difficult Child is about the meanest toward his parents that I have seen. He has vilified us, made stuff up, been horribly hateful and verbally abusive to husband, me and his siblings. Exaggerated events and seemingly unable to remember all the time and effort and love we put into his raising. Difficult Child was a darling until puberty. We had so much fun as a family. Then, he changed and it was all our fault. He seems to have totally re-created his childhood. He has taken loving moments and turned them into hatefulness from us. It has been difficult to experience the revision and listen to. Trying to reason with him was fruitless. Heck, he was hateful when I told him we had to put our 14 yo dog to sleep last year. This has gone on since he was 15, but accelerated as he got older. And, yes, we do love him very much. And, at every turn, love is all that matters. It is the most powerful thing we have. While husband and I work protect ourselves these days (after finding CD forum), we could never stop loving our son. But, we will not go down that road again of being verbally abused. As Cedar says, [I]You cannot unsee what you have seen. [/I]husband and I felt the brunt until finding CD. [B]If Difficult Child feels this way, then it is our responsibility to fix it.[/B] Thank again, from the bottom of our hearts. You guys are priceless. SS [/QUOTE]
