[QUOTE="MissLulu, post: 755707, member: 24721"] Thank you for your reply, Acacia. You are so right about the worrying not changing anything. Intellectually, I know this, but I can't seem to stop myself from doing it anyway. I have good days and bad days. Sometimes I manage to string a few good days together and then I come crashing down again. I've been dealing with this for years but the past 12 months have been particularly hard because my Difficult Child moved back home after his living situation didn't work out. He was in a very bad state when he came home, but has improved quite a lot over the year. Even so, his presence has taken a toll on me. I feel like I have aged ten years in the past 12 months. I'm not at the point where I can ask him to leave when I know he has nowhere to go. I understand that having nowhere to go is his issue, not mine, but I'm not mentally in a place where I can see him homeless. So, we have bought a house for him to rent from us and put procedures in place for him to pay us via a real estate agent. He knows this is the last help he we get from us. I so hope that once he moves into this house I will start to let go of the constant worry. [/QUOTE]
