[QUOTE="Mom2oddson, post: 379398, member: 65"] I think this is the hardest part of having a difficult child. How do you let go when they decide to make a u-turn and head back across jack-*** bridge? Especially when it seems that they were heading away from there. It's the one issue that I have to work on everyday. Chances are, your difficult child is going to blow off court and make a mess of things. And he will have to go to court to squash his warrent, pay additional fine or do additional community services, and hopefully learn this time through. Sometimes I think my difficult child HAS TO push the limits to see if there will be consequences. He has to see if he can cross the line without consequences or how test how bad the consequences will be. It just seems to be hard-wired into him. And there is nothing I can do to prevent it. I've tried for how many years? So, I watch my little birdie fly through storm after storm knowing that he could choose a different flight path but won't. And that is where I find my strength to detach.... he WON'T. It is his life. He has the right to make the worst choices possible. But I love him just the same! I always will. And if he wants me to help him, he knows that he can ask. And 99.9% of times, he chooses not to ask. Do something nice for yourself today. Practice your self-care. {{{hugs}}} [/QUOTE]
