[QUOTE="serenitysoul, post: 759695, member: 26673"] Thank you, you give some great thoughts. There's been some positives along the way, she did finish school but doesn't do what she did school for. She's made costly mistakes with the law had two DUIs, some jail time over that, saw jail time, etc. I always think I want more that can be possible, I'm ready to love, help out, but then it falls short of being reciprocated and we enter cycles. She has relationship problems with exes, and with friends, always falling out, with her father, with her grandmothers, one is her fathers, and my husbands mother-mine passed, they don't want to tolerate the behaviors (sorry, I didn't mention it's not just the actions, she speaks very badly to family using bad language), problems with the aunts, her stepmother, my husband, and so on and so on. I want to see her striving and happy, and happily raising her child, but it never happens. I've stepped in so many times but then a new crisis in her life enters either with a relationship, or with friends, or bills. All the times stepping in never worked, though I really wanted it to. I wonder if it's normal to feel I want a relationship more than she does. She struggles in happiness, and I struggle in guilt. I am also guilty of seeing people I know on social media with their kids, and things are great and smiling, and think why can't that be me? [/QUOTE]
