[QUOTE="Tentimesaround, post: 652247, member: 18633"] Each day I strive for strength and peace and I pray my daughter will find this as well, knowing that this is for each of us to find. I, too, have struggled with the same thoughts and feels as you. Waking each day not knowing what will happen next. I am new to this journey as well so sliding backwards is very easy. My heart aches with sadness and pain when I see her classmates graduating and living normal teen lives. I have cried endless tears over this, screamed in rage and frustration and sunken into deep depression over these things. I have fixed, managed, mended, disaplined, discussed, ignored etc etc. without result. Finding this site was a turning point for me. I no long felt so alone and I found solace in the wisdom of the parents here. I have cried for them and prayed for them all the while learning from them. In the past month I have begun to change...no longer letting little things destroy my day or ruin my life. I have blocked my Difficult Child calls as I do not have the strength do deal with her and her life is not mine to deal with. I have attend 2 alanon meetings and have found such strength there. Building this base of support is teaching me how to change my own behaviour. Now before reacting to a situation or allowing negative feelings to overwhelm me, I take a moment to tell myself "left it go" or "silence". This has been a big step for me! I am a mom, a doer a fixer. I know through all of these struggles I will grow stronger and find my way. I love my daughter and wish the same for her but that is for her to do. WM I hope and pray the same for you and your child. Just know we are all with you and we have all asked ourselves the same questions. [/QUOTE]
