[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 682916, member: 17542"] I had those messages too. They killed me. Then they threw me into a tailspin. Life skills. All of our DCs on this board need this type of training. I guess PCs get it by watching and going through the regular growing up processes, at least it looks like easy child did for the most part, and he grew up in the same house as Difficult Child. But with Difficult Child, just about everything, he is having to learn now. He was checked out for about six years so he is playing catch up. I think many of us take the life skills we know for granted. I know I am still surprised at the things Difficult Child asks me. I would have thought he would somehow know these things but he doesn't. And sadly, as we know, they have to learn them on their own. It's so painful to watch. Lil, hang in there. You are doing so great taking care of yourself and setting boundaries with him. 99% of the time, those middleofthenight phone calls are somehow "resolved" by morning without us doing a single thing. If you can wait, likely he will have moved on past this when you talk with him. I'm still sorry for your worry and pain. He has made progress. Hold onto that thought. He really has. It's just not pretty. [/QUOTE]
