[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 621692, member: 17269"] ah....so familiar. sometimes i have this reaction when I read about OTHER people's difficult child's on the board! In fact when some of the posters talk about how their difficult child's aren't getting jobs, I have to refrain from making suggestions (like bicycle delivery boy, which sounds like what your difficult child is doing, and something my son does oftern to make money to tide him over some period.), my own e version of running around in circles to help difficult children.. So funny. so well done that you saw it and stopped yourself. I don't know why they don't see or care that it makes us crazy to worry about them...or why they don't appreciate what we do at least a little...maybe they are detaching from us with love, figuring we own our own behavior and reactions and it isn't their problem to ease our discomfort for our bad choices (continuing to help them even when it doesn't help them). New thought! Kind of a joke..but kind of not. A lot of them have detached from us. Mine has to a great extent. Yours may have too. You and husband did well. Yu can maybe laugh a little over the almost-happened comedy act of running around and bumping into each other. You can grieve your sons carelessness towards you together. And you can know that he is safe and looking for a job. Take some deep breaths, go outside. Its a good day. Echo [/QUOTE]
