[QUOTE="hearthope, post: 37582, member: 2389"] I am getting better. I think I am where Ant's mom Janet is speaking about. Since my difficult child is currently home, I am see-sawing back and forth each day with my feelings. I am getting a close-up view of the choices he makes on a daily basis. Sometimes I think he is getting somewhere and I allow myself to believe he is changing. As sudden as he seems to do good, he then makes three steps backwards. Remember, he hasn't lived her for a long time. He was either running or locked up somewhere. When he was running I was in a dull depression, I pretty much just made it to work to get back in the bed as soon as I came home. When he was locked up I could function knowing that he was getting the help he needed and he wasn't going to be found in a ditch somewhere. Currently I am trying to find the fine line between advising and letting him go to make his decisions. It is hard to stand back and let him make the wrong choices, but I keep reminding myself that I must allow the process or he will never get it. When he quit his job, I voiced my opinion, but the choice was his. He went from a steady daily routine to whatever ~ whenever. We all know that the routine helped him stay focused and on track. That a difficult child needs structure to funtion, but I am watching him run backwards now. I guess that is why the pain seems so intense at this time. I will make it through, just like all the rest of us here. Sometimes will just be harder than others and now is my time for the hard place. I wish peace on us all. I used to dream of success in my business. I used to dream of competing at the NFR on my horse. I used to dream about many things... Now the only thing I wish for is just peace in my heart I hope we all find it...... [/QUOTE]
