[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 703313, member: 1550"] I cope by always remembering that even our own kids are not us and likely will not share all of our wants and needs and do not come to us to please our needs. I was always good with this and let my kids develop their own ways. My one son who is not nice and abusive is a bitter pill, and I don't accept his behavior, but I can't change him so I acknowledge the truth of this and do not allow it to dominate my life. I do feel having three other loving kids and a great husband helps me accept, however I never did have strong preconceived notions of how any of my kids should turn out. I accept any normal, nice person and am blessed to not feel that my kids are successful, say, only if they finish college or make lots of money. I think that letting go of outcome of any other person is mandatory for us to be happy. I cope this way with my kids. I still wish vaguely that my son was nicer, but I won't let it ruin my life. Hugs and lots of love. [/QUOTE]
