[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 521258, member: 59"] I'm sitting on this big couch with Kathy feeling a biot lonely but thrilled that you two are doing better. Sig it sounds like your difficult child does want to maintain some connection and that's good. Apparently he has been holding things together so maybe there is hope that you will eventually have a different but good relationship. I can really relate to the sad feelings that overcome you at certain times. I haven't been able to get over those yet. TL I am working hard at the same things you are, detaching and letting go and acceptance. This is not my journey and I can't do anything to fix things for her. As far as my update goes, I haven't spoken to difficult child in weeks. I've been trying to straighten out her bank account so I sent her a couple texts telling her what I'm doing but got no response from her and didn't expect one. husband called her the other day to check about her transferring her car plates and he wished her luck in everything. She responded that he sounded like she was no longer our daughter. He told her of course she was but that we felt that she was making very bad choices and the outcome was not going to be good. easy child saw her yesterday because she had to bring her dog into the animal hospital she works at. She said difficult child was pleasant but when she left easy child texted her and told her she was sad they couldn't have a relationship. difficult child she wanted one but easy child told her not as long as she was drinking and using drugs. difficult child tried to tell her that she only drinks once in a while when she is celebrating something and just ignored the drug part. easy child told her we all knew that was a lie so that was that. I'm waiting to see if she asks to come over on Easter. I told husband I didn't want her over, that I wasn't going to ignire the elephant in the room. I doubt she wil ask anyway, she does not want us to voice our disapproval of her and we will see her car all wrecked and she doesn't want to have to explain that. Besides that husband is having surgery tomorrow on his torn meniscus so my day will be busy for the next few weeks driving him back and forth to work until he is off crutches. Thanks for starting this thread Sig, it's nice to catch up. Nancy [/QUOTE]
