[QUOTE="DDD, post: 489976, member: 35"] My friend you are putting the cart before the horse. Enjoy that he is safe, drug free, feeling worthwhile and no longer thinking criminal thoughts! That's alot to be thankful for this year. There are so darn many things that pop up with adult kids that are unexpected. with-o exaggeration I truly believed that all my children would remain close to us and our hearts. Having my easy child son opt to live an isolated life that barely includes us has truly been a hard pill to swallow. He and I have always had a special connection, like thinking, similar humor, parallel values etc. etc. etc. He is still a fine man but he and his wife live a life that basically excludes husband and me. Who would have thunk?? It's been difficult (taken years, in fact) but I really am thankful that he is comfortable with his life. Even easy child's can choose different paths and so long as they are alive and content with their choices it's best to be thankful. Yeah, I know it is hard. Sigh. Your difficult child's children may follow the lead that is set for them and end up clones of the parents. As you know, and we all know here in the family, you'll only know when the time comes. Meanwhile be grateful that he is not in crisis. Many hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
