[QUOTE="pasajes4, post: 550274, member: 12856"] I still catch myself having moments where I start to panic about difficult child. The moments are becoming farther and farther apart. My mother has always had an awsome relationship with him. I always thought it was because she does not live with him nor did she have to deal with the fall out from his choices. The truth is that she raised her own difficult child and speaks from experience. She has told me numerous times that I needed to love him as is, not for what he is not. It does not mean that you do not have expectations for him or that there are not consequences for his choices. They are his choices and he will either learn from them or he won't. Tying your life to his means if he sinks so will you and then where will you both be? Live your life not his. Life for me is getting better. Life for my difficult child...well that's up to him. I have educated him about what his choices can lead to both good and bad. [/QUOTE]
