[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 446730, member: 3305"] Thank you Esther and PatriotsGirl for the Hugs...Yall are sweet. PG, It is complicated isn't it? They DO insist on learning the hard way...especially hard on mom's. Both of my difficult child's have been given a good life with plenty of opportunities to succeed along the way. Both chose the road of Sub Abuse in their early teen years and all that goes along with that: using people places and things, manipulating, stealing, lying, etc. And yet a mother's love never gives up. My oldest is doing well now...clean for over 6 months, and still working very very hard for husband, and he adores his lil girl. I do not have a close relationship with his girlfriend so I don't see them much and they have become somewhat judegemental and "wholier than thou" these days. I smoke, go to the casino and easy child is gay...they look down on these things and don't want their daughter, my granddaughter, exposed to these things. Oh well...at least oldest is sober at the moment and functioning well even if I can't be close with him and his. Young difficult child has victim mentality...it is often someone elses fault or something elses fault: the police wrongly handled him, his back injury, pacemaker prevent him from having a job, etc. Until he gets over feeling sorry for himself and begins to recognise all of his decisions in the past 3 or so years, and wants to get sober, he will be stuck with "stinkin thinkin". For young difficult child we tried Drug Rehab, AA, Alternative School, Jail School, Homeschool, Hospitalisations, medication, "Wilderness Program", Weekend Boot Camp, etc. He has been exposed to the "help"...but he has to admit that he has a problem and truly want the help. I had hoped his children would be enough to wake him up...but even they were not enough motivation for him to change. Thank you all for the support, hugs, care and prayer. I am hopeful that my Young difficult child still has a chance to recover and overcome. LMS [/QUOTE]
