[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 660251, member: 17542"] Lil, you are doing so great and making remarkable progress on this journey. What I mean, specifically, is: [U][B]go silent. No texting and no telling and no advising and no warning and no teaching. [/B][/U] You did all of that all his life, like all of us did....and he already knows. He knows everything you are saying already. To be polite and kind to his grandparents. He knows this. To get a job. He knows this. All of it. He knows this. Just go silent. If he texts you or calls you, can you perhaps say something like this: No, honey. I'm sure you'll figure it out. I love you. Just say that over and over and over again. Something different has happened here. He isn't right up the road from you, doing the same things over and over again. Sometimes, that is all it takes to create a momentum change. Where more and more things can happen. But as we all know, it's up to him. See what happens. You're doing really great with a very hard situation. I say all of this gently and kindly. Take what you like and leave the rest. Warm hugs today. [/QUOTE]
