[QUOTE="blackgnat, post: 683571, member: 13561"] Can relate completely. It takes me everything I have to feel joy for other parents and the successes their kids achieve. I don't wish them any harm, of course. Also, when friends of mine worry about stuff their kids MIGHT be doing, but aren't really, or at least not enough to mess their lives up, I have to restrain my anger. One woman at work was undone because her son wasn't coming home for Easter! Really? That's all you got? I know it's wrong and I don't want to feel like this-it's not THEIR fault that my Difficult Child is the way he is, so I put a brave face on it and just suck it up. [/QUOTE]
