[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 626084, member: 1514"] I am so not good at this but the idea that acceptance and hope cant live inside of us at the same time doesnt quite fit with me. With all my boys I have accepted who and what they are but I always also hope that things can be different, better, easier for all of them. I think parents want their kids to have an easy and good life. Or at least that is something I have always thought I should think...probably because my mother literally prayed every day that I would fall flat on my face and be miserable. I dont wish that for any of my kids and right now, I might be justified in thinking that about my youngest. Right now I am not at all happy with youngest. His father and I have made our displeasure well known to him. When he tells me he is trying to do something positive I nod and tell him I am glad he is working towards something but I dont attempt to do anything for him. One thing I have had to really work on though is separating helping him with doing things for his youngest daughter. His father and I get into a bunch of arguments over that. I dont know, Im rambling...lol [/QUOTE]
