[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 471219"] Nancy, I don't know your daughter. But I had an "aha" moment about my own difficult child when I read your post. Your difficult child has made a decision. A real decision that she actually THOUGHT about. And it goes against the tide of "everyone thinks I should have the baby" IIRC (her work friends?) I think that's a fairly positive step. My own difficult child hasn't made a true decision about ANYTHING for probably the past year. I don't know if that a symptom of OR the reason for his difficult child-ness. He seems content to go with the flow, take the path of least resistance that offers the most instant "feel good". Sinks to the lowest common denominator, doesn't challenge himself, doesn't look inward or long term, just thinks for/lives in the moment. And when things don't work out - he blames someone else. If it goes wrong it "wasn't his fault" simply because he never thought that far ahead. (or it is my fault for not stopping him or for not encouraging him *SCREAM*) So, I just wanted to say - hey - she made a DECISION!!! And from here - that looks like a good thing. [/QUOTE]
