[QUOTE="Fran, post: 197821, member: 3"] Shari, in my humble opinion, the fact that difficult child recognizes you as the safety net and stability is a good thing for him. Our boys have so much chaos in their minds that they cling to their rock. You. It's a good thing for him. If it's any consolation, my baby sis sits closer to me depending on her level of stress. I used to tease her that eventually she would end up in my lap. She was 22yrs old. Today, she is an independent, 40 yr old mom of 2. If she lived nearby I'm sure she would cozy up to me on the couch if she was worried. I think you are giving your son a gift. I also think clingy is different than needing some mothering or nurturing. It's probably a matter on whose terms the attention is given or demanded. Asking yourself these self reflection type questions is what keeps us constantly learning and altering the plans depending on the needs of the difficult child or the family. Good for you. [/QUOTE]
