[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 673469, member: 4152"] Thinking about our own Difficult Child and reading about other special needs children and adult children here over the years, I have often noticed issues with these children lacking gratitude. For example, if you give them money, it's not enough, if they get a job..it stinks...if you give them a roof over their heads, there are too many rules and so forth. There was an article, I wish I saved it, but I think years ago, I put the link here . It indicated a possible link with un gratefulness and mental illness. On the flip side... I have clearly noticed the more grateful I am for all the good in my life, the more it manifests. Sure, I wish my difficult child was healthier. But, by and large, I have let that go. I am so VERY grateful for Life itself. I'm grateful for my family, friends, good doctors, home, food, country and so forth. Many many blessings and much to be grateful for, including the camaraderie, comfort and good advice I've gotten from you, SOC, and many others from this site. Happy Thanksgiving! Blessings. :) [/QUOTE]
