[QUOTE="keista, post: 449084, member: 11965"] I love it when the Universe (Fate, God, whatever) intervenes when we are unable to make these difficult decisions. This is the transition to adult hood that everyone must make. Even when difficult children are young, it's not an excuse but the thing that we must teach them to live with in an acceptable manner (I'd love to say 'beat' or cure, but we know that's not possible). Transitioning to adulthood, it's no longer the parent's responsibility - we've given them as many tools as we could to help them handle it, and now it's their job to continue to handle their own illness. When you think about it it's really not much different than raising a 'normal' child - just harder to see it that way on so many levels. That transition must occur. I'm sending you thoughts of strength. [/QUOTE]
