[QUOTE="Deni D, post: 759789, member: 22840"] Miracle, I'm sorry you are going through this, I know how it feels. Some of our young ones, for whatever reason, crash into adulthood instead of bump into it. The "I'm an adult and can do what I want" mantra sounds good to them but smacks of toddler behavior to us when it comes with absolute uncountability for natural consequences. Ours may do what they do to a more extreme because of mental health issue's, it's kind of like the same as one would expect under normal circumstances only multiplied by 10. I see it as a total lack of responsibility for one's self, which doesn't bode well for someone in life in general. All we can do once they reach adulthood is to step aside as much as we can tolerate to let the train run over them instead of us. Then maybe they will accept guidance, just maybe. Gratitude on the other hand I think comes with maturity which often is a result of life's experiences in those who "know better" in their younger years. I think RN's advice above is priceless.
