[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 273259, member: 1991"] That is wonderful news, Martie. Our aim as parents is for our children to eventually leave home and live happy, productive and independent lives. For some of us, it's a work in progress. Since you were here regularly, we've reached one huge milestone - difficult child 1 got married. A lot of Aspies can't sustain enough social 'cred' pluscapability, to get this far. Some choose to live a single life. I have no illusions of difficult child 1, his wife is also his carer, but increasingly he is becoming her carer and meeting his own obligations. Ironically, a current legal crisis he is enmeshed in (drove an uninsured car through a doctor's BMW while running a red light) is training him to cope even more. His wife has had to step away from the issues and has handed back to me, what he can't handle. But each time I see him I am impressed by how he is coping in his life and how much he is working on maintaining his marriage. We can't always be as successful as you have been - failure to make it all the way shouldn't be a source of guilt for us (although it often is). All we can do is set our goals but be grateful for anything we achieve, even if it falls short of our ambition. And who knows? Maybe our difficult child will still make it, it just may take a bit longer. Or maybe we have got thm further down the path than they could have been expected to manage, simply by everything we have done. Martie, you and your son are an inspiration to us all, to never give up hope. Marg [/QUOTE]
