[QUOTE="End of our rope, post: 632258, member: 17544"] You know I just have never seen a post here that says my life is back on track and all I had to do was to ignore and detach from my difficult child. You may stop giving money or providing shelter but they are always there. In Jail, In Rehab, In A Shelter or some other facility. As I have read the posts they are at your door begging to come in, they are at your work, you can never really detach until they get better, you or them leave town or they pass away. She is a type 1 diabetic and a cancer survivor who had open heart surgery when she was 6 months old. That does not excuse her actions today or her past behavior but if family isn't there for you no one will be. I am sure to the trained expert my rationalization is denial or something else but the hurt is raw and deep. With two sweet kids who's world changed forever today I just have no hope at this point of any kind of for the life we worked so hard for and I am so sorry that they will now be left to us live with. I do thank all you have taken the time to respond and I am sure the world will stop spinning but I don't even think God knows when. [/QUOTE]
