[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 681328, member: 19522"] I felt the same way but I am beginning to try to switch that direction of thought. Not only because it makes me miserable, but I really do think that there is something to the notion that our thoughts have power. Every action we take, begins with a thought. Giving my two over to God, I have to believe with faith that whatever becomes of them is part of their journey. Whether or not I will be able to connect with them, that is a [I]whole different story. [/I]I am writing from the perspective of having no contact for six months. It is much different when the kids are near. It is sad, Walrus, none of us ever imagined this at all while raising these kids. I wouldn't call it an [I]unnatural[/I] response. They do not treat us with respect. After so much goes on, we have to take steps to protect ourselves. I think the [I]kids[/I] are acting unnaturally towards parents. Rather than be thankful and grateful, they are accusatory, blame seeking and feel it is our duty to " help"(enable) them. Mine took advantage of us every which way they could, were incredibly disrespectful, yet still have/had this attitude of entitlement. Tis true, we all had to learn as we went through all of this. It is a process. I agree. She is trying. There is not much else she can do but try to figure out what was going on inside of her that allowed her to transgress in this way. She will have to gain your trust back, by her actions. This is very well put. We do lose all common sense for awhile and slip in to some desperate and dark times. It hurts to the core of us. Small steps each day, one day at a time. Yes, do what works for you Devastated. It is good that you are considering counseling for yourself. I went to try and get my head on straight, so much was going on I couldn't think my way through. This is a tough journey for all of us. Keep posting dear and let us know how you are. You are not alone. (((Hugs))) leafy [/QUOTE]
