[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 632725, member: 17542"] JKF, as my SO would say: he's not done cookin' yet. It is almost impossible to understand what "done cookin'" will ever look like for some of our difficult children. I am reaching a new level of acceptance right now. I was becoming a bit hopeful (always a slippery slope for me) about difficult child as his talk----even though his walk----was more mature, more adult and more serious. No or little drama and grandiosity. But still no action. I just don't think being homeless---especially in the summer---is that bad of a state of being. There are so many services now for homeless people and like difficult child told me last week, like your difficult child said: "it's not bad, and sometimes it's fun." Really? That is living in the moment, is it not? Our difficult children have perfected the art of living in the moment and not thinking about the next moment or later today or tomorrow or next week. I am sorry, JKF that he is still talking the same talk. I am glad you saw him after a year of not seeing him, and I can imagine that was an emotional experience for you. I hope you are okay. I also think these young men have brains that are far from mature and complete, and if they use drugs, the maturation is further delayed. Maybe the "cookin'" has something to do with just merely getting older, for some of them. Who knows? I mean, only God knows their journey. Our journey is to let go, focus on our lives, set boundaries and accept reality. We must work for this constantly, or it is not achievable. Warm hugs JKF. You are really moving forward. Please keep us apprised of how YOU are. Keep moving forward. [/QUOTE]
