[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 695032, member: 17635"] Hi Alby, My thinking is that this is the really [B]difficult[/B] part, where you are not enabling and waiting on your D C to make a change. The most difficult part for all of you. That has never happened long with us, because our Difficult Child always found another enabler. There is some evidence that my parents are ready to stop helping Difficult Child, so husband and I may well be faced with a similar scenario before long. (Best for Difficult Child, but it is bound to be brutal, as it sounds for you right now). The deputy sounds like a very decent human. My Difficult Child [B]has[/B] been in trouble with the law more than once. Talking with kindly sounding law enforcement folks always gave me a moment of hope. Of course, those conversations never changed anything, but were a respite from the many who had seen a lot and seemed quick to "set me straight" as far as Difficult Child's future. And, unfortunately, so far....the more negative ones appear to have been correct in their assumptions. Another reason I think the stopping the enabling is our one hope. I may be wrong, but I have that hope. [/QUOTE]
