[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 524982, member: 13558"] I have found it interesting that some of the authors of the books have been so public about their difficult child and share all of the stories. I am not at that point and may never be. My daughter and my husband are the only ones that really know what is going on in his life. I am vague and just say he is in school and working part time jobs, can't afford too, or is too busy to visit. True statements! I have family members that have adult men living at home, some employed and some not, that do not understand my choices with my difficult child. In this area, the 'apple doesn't fall far from the tree' so it's always the parents fault, still applies to all situations. We moved after retirement from a large city so my friends here don't know too much about my difficult child and I have always enjoyed my privacy. I find not being asked about him helps me to detach. However, I do keep my daughter and husband updated and they prefer to stay mum also! [/QUOTE]
