[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 617995, member: 1550"] It is like many things...almost gut wrenching at first, but it gets easier with time. As it continues, IF it continues, you tend to get fed up and less interested in the day-to-day drama of your grown child unless you are the type who feels he/she must put up with abuse and care for even a fifty year old child, which I find very sad...a sad life for parent and the child. I've been at this a long time. 36, who is by far my hardest child, was like this forever. So when he reverts back to being abusive, it is not hard to pull away until the episode is finished. I imagine it must be harder if you only have one child. I have often thanked the Good Lord that we decided to adopt children after 36. He could well have been my only child and I think it would have been much harder to detach from my only one. But maybe not...he can be pretty horrible and then I just don't want to hear his voice....
