[QUOTE="janebrain, post: 12280, member: 3208"] Hi HH, you are doing the right thing--your point about your brother being 28 when your mom finally kicked him out and your difficult child getting to hit rock bottom sooner is very good! My difficult child is only 18 too but like you, I had to put my other child first--she deserved to live in a safe place without all the drama and chaos difficult child 1 was causing. She is the reason I was able to be strong and say enough. Life had centered around difficult child 1 for too long. When difficult child 1 left I immediately locked the doors and watched her and her boyfriend walk up the street to catch a bus. I was so relieved and felt so unburdened. The air in our house was different too with difficult child 1 here. So much tension. I'm sorry your mother is making it so hard--my mom and my mother-in-law were both very supportive of me. In fact they thought I gave difficult child 1 too many chances and was being unfair to difficult child 2. Stay strong--I sure identify with you! And, now, my difficult child 1 and I get along really well and she is welcome to come and visit with us. When she left I thought that was the end of our relationship but instead it turned out to be the beginning of a new, better, relationship (after a month or so of her hating me to pieces). In one of your other posts you said something about not giving up hope and I think that is good. No need to give up hope, just get on with life and see what happens. It feels so good to be able to take the focus off of the difficult child! Hugs, Jane [/QUOTE]
