[QUOTE="TheyAreLegallyAdultsNow, post: 365149, member: 8405"] WMNancyinCA, I can so totally relate!!!!!!!!!!!! I agree with susiestar... at 26 "If he is not on his own then he needs to be." It's a tough stand but it will help him in the long run. I like Nomad's "letting go" post... Quite often I'll take a break from visiting here... Because my kids are Legally Adults! My hubby and I get to ride out our beautiful lives into the sunset. But when I "need to" vent I'm sooooooooo grateful this place exists!!!!!! I figured I don't need to be staring at the empty difficult child beds with my heart breaking every day! For a while I considered closing those bedroom doors so I wouldn't have to look anymore.... ...instead.... We recently bumped into an old acquaintance who moved across country to teach... it didn't work out for her... the school she was at had a mold problem and she got very ill... she needed to move back across country to a nearby town. I found out this woman and her special needs daughter had no beds... The minute I heard that my heart overflowed with joy knowing the empty beds that were painful daily reminders of our children's Reactive Attachment Disorder related rejection could really be a blessing to another family!!! We loaded up the van a couple of times and delivered much needed furniture to that family. Now I have more peace when I look into the emptied rooms formerly occupied by our difficult children! husband and I are hoping to move out of state... It feels like removing 2 bedrooms worth of furniture was the first official step toward our beautiful dance in the sun-setting years. In the meantime... our healthy-"attached" bio-daughter had requested that we save her furniture for her... so we'll be moving that up the next time we head her way. Hugs for now... and I'll be praying for you and your difficult child and all who love him!!!!! [/QUOTE]
