[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 478247, member: 59"] Donna I just told Kathy the same thing, her difficult child is desperate and desperate people do desperate things. I understand that desperation, I've been there, but the difference between us is that I can control my desperation and she can't. That's what makes a difficult child a difficult child. We can feel desperate and deal with it in a rational way. slsh what you said really hit a nerve. I do believe that some maternal heartache in inevitable and there just isn't any way around it. We can try to minimze it but it is what it is and we just have to get through it any way we can. It's a grieving process. Kathy I don't know how you are getting to work everyday with all this going on. I applaud your resilience. It's easier for me to detach with difficult child out of the house and sober. When she was living here or even when she wasn't but was actively drinking, no matter how hard I tried I still carried heartache. I still do now but it's much easier when I am not worried that she will appear on my doorstep every minute or that she will be sending me crazy texts all day. Detachment is much overrated.
