[QUOTE="Fran, post: 238043, member: 3"] WFEN, thank you but I believe I become a better person/parent when I pause for self reflection and take stock of my attitude. I take good care of myself but as difficult child gets older I find I shift my attention away from his needs since I don't seem to be able to teach him. I need to still be somewhat sympathetic to how hard life is for difficult child and for us. MWM, the author believes our difficult child's need to be out of the house in an appropriate living environment with their peers. I have covered so many bounced checks that it's embarassing. He does it over and over and promises to not do it again then forgets. He has suffered many consequences but to no avail. He isn't a hard guy and it never made any sense but I see more that it isn't just him and it isn't that I didn't raise him right. Nomad, I'm sure all of our adult difficult child's who suffer from some level of this aspect of disorder could benefit. Wendy, it's a shock when I read this far into the book to hear her describe my son. I am thirsty to read more and more. I wish I could go off and just finish it but life gets in the way. [/QUOTE]
