[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 631483, member: 17542"] Lil, go back and read your first post this morning and then your second. Your first post was positive, upbeat, there was a strong air of letting go throughout it. Your second post was reacting to his drama and his situation....again. You are making such good progress Lil! Since you started posting on this board, I can see it in how you are thinking and acting---progress! And it's about progress, not perfection. Keep working to let go of whatever happens in his life. The ups, the downs, the inactivity, the activity. Your difficult child is on his own journey called life. It really doesn't include you. It's his journey with his Higher Power, and it is going to have to make many twists and turns along the way. Let it be and let it happen without your involvement, as much as you possibly can. Start practicing responses like these: [LIST] [*]Hmmmmm...interesting. [*]Well, that sounds promising (hard, sad, bad, etc.). [*]I'm sure things will work out. [*]Okay. [*]Oh. [*]Wow. [/LIST] You may have to walk away and scream into a pillow, but do your best to not engage and not react. Hang in there! You ARE doing great. [/QUOTE]
