[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 269927, member: 1436"] First, understand that your difficult child's choices have nothing to do with anything you have or haven't done. If he was 4, that could be the case, but at 17 he has the knowledge to understand right from wrong. He chooses to not go to school despite knowing the negative consequences for his choices. The biggest thing that helped me was learning to detach---I did not cause it; I can not control it; I can not change it. Those three phrase I've learned to apply to the decisions made by my difficult child and my pcs as well as other people in my life. I am responsible for the decisions of one person---me. You need to learn some detachment phrases. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
