[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 273382, member: 1514"] Nancy, I have always told you I see a lot of me in your difficult child. Hopefully it wont take her as long to come around as it took me! I was in a much better place by the time I was in my early to mid twenties. Maybe she wont go to college right now but that doesnt mean she wont go at all. Sometimes a few years off can be a good thing because she will appreciate it more if it is something she has to work for and pay for herself. I certainly did. My father could have afforded to send me to any univesity I wanted to attend but I blew that opportunity because I was a stupid difficult child. Instend I went to a small technical college but I treasured that degree because I worked for it and I payed for it with my blood, sweat and tears. I would have just partied my way through a university at 18. Even Cory now is telling us that he sees things from such a different angle. He can see why we did the things we did and said the things we said. Life looks different in your twenties than it does in your teens. So difficult child is probably going to hit some roadblocks and hit some problems. She will figure them out. If she is like most of us difficult child's she will start to come around in a few years. She really wont stop loving you but it may take a few years for that to become apparent again. [/QUOTE]
