[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 657055, member: 17461"] I think it gets twisted when we begin to feel we are failing them. It stops being fun to interact with them because we feel so freaking guilty that they are suffering. And it sets up a kind of feedback loop where their suffering is our failure and on it goes. Enabling begins to happen, and resentment rears its ugliness. And denial enters the picture. (Flourish of trumpets.) Yeah.' This has been a very hard thing. And then, we are dealing with someone who looks like a caricature of our child and we cannot touch that gushing, sunbright thing that always used to happen whenever we saw them or when they got off the schoolbus or something. So, we are very lost. Cedar [/QUOTE]
