[QUOTE="1905, post: 524596, member: 2668"] Wow, I love that advice! From my own personal experience with my difficult child, I could talk and reason with him until I was blue in the face, he was going to do what he wanted to regardless. At one point , like Star, I had enough and went so far as to get a restraining order against my own son. Yet, that was the best thing I have ever done for him. He had to learn the hard way, and it was hard. It would have been hard for anyone but he to get a job at that point, he had to support himself somehow and he had nowhere to live. It's been a few years now, he's 24, we have a good relationship, he pays his own bills, but he wouldn't learn the things he needed to until we removed ourselves from the picture. Why should I? was my difficult child's mantra. Why should he get a job, he could live here and eat here- sell our stuff for spending money........heck no! Some kids learn the hard way. [/QUOTE]
