[QUOTE="mom_to_3, post: 260366, member: 30"] I agree with DDD, she has, very been there, lived it, real, advice for you. The great thing about being an adult is that you don't have to be what you learned growing up. You have the ability to use your mind and rationalize the facts before you. You've already shown us that you can do that because you have in the past. I think maybe right now, you're just having difficulty separating your heart from your head. It's very difficult to have to let go of your son especially under the circumstances you had to. I had to let go of my difficult child in less than desirable circumstances. The one thing I knew was that [B]whatever I had done while my difficult child was home, DID NOT WORK [/B]and in fact her behaviors were [B] exasberated while living at home[/B]. She continues to be a difficult child and her life is still unstable and unproductive, but she is not physical that I know of and doesn't "blow" like she used to. She's a slow learner, still messing up her life. The thing is though that she is doing this on her own with no interference from me or her father. I hope at some point her life experiences "click" for her and she gets a clue. Some folks have to learn thru the life of hard knocks and while it's difficult for me to watch, she must be willing to continue that way of life because [B]she[/B] hasn't taken the steps to change it. This very well may be the way your son has to learn too, but hopefully he'll get a clue where he's at and make the profound changes that would benefit him greatly. [/QUOTE]
