[QUOTE="mom_in_training, post: 189811, member: 2727"] Your difficult child is will be 17 in Oct? (Your sig needs updated.) I am so sorry you are having to deal with this. I so know the feelings of anger when your difficult child reappears. My reaction was the same as yours. Walking around her as if she was not there. It took me a long time to warm up and have any inkling of trust with my difficult child. The hardest part is not knowing when our difficult children will finally decide that they need to do something different and actually do it knowing that the other way of life just is not working for them anymore. (Not the life they want). Its tough because us Moms and Dads want our kiddos to become productive citizens within society but we do not have the power to make that happen. All we can do as parents is provide the appropriate tools and hope that they grasp on willingly. I agree with MidWestMom, You can love someone but not like them for who they are. Its hard having to be around someone that continues to make bad choices and attempt to come back at their convenience. How selfish of an act is that, For your difficult child to think its ok to **** you back in at her convenience. My difficult child was on the streets(Her choice) for about three months and I let her know straight up that I was not here for her convenience and refuse to tolorate her antics. She eventually hit rock bottom after deciding that she no longer wanted that lifestyle and although a lil rocky at first she has definitely changed for the better. Has a job (But she needs to learn to manage her $, Lol!!) Hugs to you.... [/QUOTE]
