[QUOTE="DDD, post: 508961, member: 35"] I included in a post the other day that once I realized that I would never choose to be friends with difficult child#1 if he was a stranger, it helped me detach. Heck, I wouldn't want my children to be friends with him either. The s.a. value system is alien. Never have we chosen "friends" who lied, stole, used illegal substances, had no goals for employment, etc. Just wouldn't happen. on the other hand, we couldn't love him more. Detachment is a long painful process. Each of us has to draw our own line in the sand based on our personal circumstances. There are some success stories and there are alot of sad stories too but once parents have done everything they can do...the difficult children have to make their choices. I'm sorry that you are at such a painful crossroad but know your decisions are based on love. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
