[QUOTE="Tentimesaround, post: 651434, member: 18633"] Boy do I get this as do we all! It truly goes against what a mother feels the need to do love and protect! How do you love and let go? They all have that way of drawing us back in! The texts, phone calls desperate cries for help. Somewhere in that you see the child you once knew and hope rises to the surface in hopes they are "back". My Difficult Child has not been living in our home for almost 4 months. I have finally begun to feel safe and at peace here. Will I give that up and let her come back home? Never! We have let her back in with rules, contracts etc etc but it never would last. The first time she left, I spent months running around trying to find help and all I wanted was her home again. It has taken me a long time to realize allowing her back home is not what is best for anyone in my family. Some days these is easy and I am strong! Other days I am weak and sad (like today). My heart aches and it feels there is a piece of me missing. But I am doing my best and today will pass. I will fill my day with self care and no pity and tomorrow will be better. I wish that for you as well. Self care lots of it helps! I also blocked my Difficult Child number this week, I just could not handle that abuse any more and attended my first alanon meeting. Hugs and strength to u! [/QUOTE]
