[QUOTE="JRC, post: 733106, member: 21147"] BBU- First, ((hugs)). Although I know that you feel some relief that you aren't caught up in the day to day drama of your step children, this is hard. Watching your wife's pain is hard. Knowing that these children will have really tough lives is hard. It sucks all around. YS's diagnosis: I'm sorry. It's a crappy diagnosis to have. The cycling disrupts the lives and aspirations of even the most motivated child or adult. We know about famous people who seem to have successful lives, but the fact is that it's a disabling diagnosis. Horrible stigma. And, as you well know, high suicide rate. It's the last part that is so hard for parents to manage. Some "find a place" for the pernicious unspoken threat of the disease. I'm not sure I ever will. You've been such a source of help here. I'm glad you're sticking around. [/QUOTE]
