[QUOTE="klmno, post: 197489, member: 3699"] That was beautifully put, MB! And Witz has a good point too. I didn't adopt- mine is my own doing- :) or :( depending on the day. But I understand the tears and frustration and the joys and the commitment. My career would be a lot further along, too, and I would have a lot more time to explore those things I'd like to do, just for myself. But as you mentioned, I can do those things at 55 or 65, it's ok. Now, if difficult child keeps going the way he has been and doesn't live at home in a year or so, then I will do them, but I will still be his Mom and I will still be in his life. I can underatnd turning one back in, but I have a little trouble with not looking for a better answer thatn an institution, unless they have been extrememly violent. [/QUOTE]
