[QUOTE="pasajes4, post: 626068, member: 12856"] I struggle with this on a daily basis. My son is so far from what society calls acceptable. He struggles with his ethnic identity ( he is bi-racial). He struggles with wanting to please me, but does not seem to be able to maintain normalcy for any length of time. I suspect that his trying to be what I wanted has caused him to suffer on a deeper level. He may never be able to fit into mainstream living. It makes me sad to think that he will always have to have other people in charge of his life. He is in jail and still bucking the system. I hope he can find his niche. All any of us want is for our children to be safe, loved, and have a purpose. We can love them. As adults, the rest is up to them. [/QUOTE]
