[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 618399, member: 1233"] Sorry, in my post part of it got deleted and a typo made the last sentence sound odd. The last sentence should be that he is HIS own responsibility. I am sorry that he isn't able to make the changes that appear so logical to the rest of us. It is so much harder for a parent than a sibling, as siblings can often just create distance with-o feeling the crushing guilt and desperation for the difficult child to change that a parent often feels and must deal with. I truly am glad that you are making progress on your own life and on not letting his life make yours a train wreck. I see LOTS of families where the entire family ends up very very sick because they become so codependent on the difficult child and on fixing the difficult child. I hope that someday your difficult child can accept the need to change and is willing to work for those changes. I am sorry if my earlier post sounded mean. Part of it just disappeared somehow, but my computer was acting up. [/QUOTE]
