[QUOTE="AHF, post: 440463, member: 11180"] What I miss is the easy child locked up inside my difficult child. On a very rare occasion--like for 4 days when he'd just come home from residential treatment, 6 months ago--I get a glimpse of that person in Peter Pan. And then he's gone back inside his hostile shell, and I miss him terribly. But I miss him even as I'm getting vitriol from Peter Pan over the phone, because I simply cannot accept that this twisted, tortured and torturing person is the adult version of the 14-year-old I knew and understood. I would rather be simply missing him, as in wishing I could see him or talk to him but circumstances intrude. This kind of "missing" makes me both sad and a little crazy. Does anyone else have this experience? [/QUOTE]
