[QUOTE="Kalahou, post: 696021, member: 19617"] It true COM. And especially moms and Difficult Child sons. Why? I remember for the first 3 months after he was born (3rd child after almost 10 years) I could not stop saying “[I]Thank you, thank you, thank you for him.”[/I] And I still say it. And I still get taken in by the hope and “maybes” I have. While I recognize the truth that he is different, and doesn’t “get” all that life is about, doesn’t “get” the need for planning and responsibility, and makes poor choices, and puts on victim airs (all which I have a hard time with, and would not deal with in someone else / I would just not deal with another such person in my circles) , I can’t help but pray and give benefit of the doubt for this son, as I'm sure do all the moms of Difficult Child sons here. I’m trying to learn from it ~ [I]why / for what benefit ~ were we placed together in the same family?[/I] What opportunities and blessings are there to develop us for our purposes in life? …. Heavy questions. Heavy prayers on our hearts. Heavy patience and faithfulness in knowing limits and boundaries in practicing the much needed loving detachment. None of this is easy. Just trying to stay steadfast each new day ... “[I] In due season, you will reap … " [/I] Thoughts are with you SWOT.[I] Y[/I]ou are strong and know the ropes. I have learned so much from you. Take care.[I] ~K[/I] [/QUOTE]
