[QUOTE="buddy, post: 539959, member: 12886"] It is making me cry too. I read a great book a woman wrote about her experience being severely bullied and if I find it in this move I'll pass it on because as awful as it was ...I mean rocks thrown at her head assaults...it is a story of overcoming. What kills me is that this has made your whole family victims of the bullies. husband, you, easy child and difficult child. It is an understatement to say your difficult child is impressive. Look, the energy our difficult children need to get through days is more than most of us can appreciate. Any of us who has ever tried to change a behavior from minor to major ....eating better, quitting smoking, overcoming depression, stopping impulse buys, quitting swearing .....gosh anything.....it can be so hard. He is working to change things that may be actually related to his hard wiring, to chemical issues related to trauma and still he soldiers on. Of course he is a kid, may always have a certain level of personality quirks but how many adults could handle the humility and determination he needs to improve? Sneak him a hug for me. One for you too. It won't be easy but as they say admitting the problem is half the battle. [/QUOTE]
