[QUOTE="pacific ocean, post: 703193, member: 21010"] Hi. I am new here who posted our situation recently. We have a college age Difficult Child (female), 20, whom we adopted as an infant. Because she was always a Difficult Child, I worked minimum. But I've realized it wasn't working and now my husband and I had to take a very big step, a detachment. We didn't know how we would start but we have come to the point we should not wait any longer. So I increased my work hours and that seemed to be working okay, less time to think about our Difficult Child. Yes, I still cry occasionally if the baby photos of our Difficult Child came into my sight but I am trying hard to tell myself the detachment is for all of us. These are exact questions we had and seeing replies of your thread will be a good reminder for us. I feel encouraged. It's been very hard, though... [/QUOTE]
