[QUOTE="slsh, post: 351574, member: 8"] klmno - I'm so sorry. difficult child seems bound and determined to dig himself an even bigger hole. I know detachment is in order here, but I also know how unbelievably hard it is to watch our kids just compound their problems by making really (insert your preferred adjective - don't want to offend) choices. You need to take care of you. Do your job, get your ducks in a line, get your life back on track as best you can (basically, keep doing what you've been doing, hon). I have at times had a sense of desperation when thank you has pulled stunts, that I *had* to do something/anything to keep him from going off track. Unfortunately, in my experience anyway, the reality is after a certain point there just isn't a doggone thing we can do. It's sad and maddening and frustrating and ... surreal to watch them do this junk. Also almost impossible to resist the urge to shake them and ask them what in the heck they are thinking. But of course, that's not going to do any good either, 'cuz they're just not thinking. Hugs, klmno. I'm just so doggone sorry. [/QUOTE]
