[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 651879, member: 4152"] Terry...I can relate to MUCH of what you said regarding all the hard work you put into raising/helping your Difficult Child and especially right this moment, it doesn't seem like it has done much. For me, having a Difficult Child AND lupus, etc. was just overwhelming. I think I could have managed the Lupus, etc. alone, but NOT having a Difficult Child that seem to require extra work too and I spent several years in despair feeling like I gave up ALOT in terms of a career, etc. and for WHAT?????!!! OUR Difficult Child is barely functioning in society. BARELY. But, my husband is the half glass type full person and I love him soooo much because of that. Although our Difficult Child is not employed and has many problems, he honestly feels she would be much WORSE had I not helped her significantly in her youth. She is, now in her mid twenties, for the most part, kind and polite to us and is fairly quick to apologize when she recognizes that she is out of line. Well, it ain't much, but it is better than other situations. And she shys away from drugs and criminal activity. Again, hanging onto the positives. Your son is still young and there is still time. And, who knows how much worse things would have been had he not have had loving parents. I use to cringe hearing this, but I don't anymore. I'll never understand it all and it still bothers me a little...but I'm much better now. And now that she is adult, there is little to no extra help anymore and it is what it is. I have distance myself from her odd behaviors/actions and feel MUCH freer. It is what it is. I know in my heart I tried my best. That's it folks. How old is your son???? I'm guessing it is time or very very near time that you will be in that place too. It is freeing! Also, these upcoming decisions are very hard and very personal. Good thoughts that it works out well. So very sad. I'll be praying for you and all concerned. [/QUOTE]
