[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 614789, member: 17269"] Dammit Janet, my son also found places until he didn't anymore. He was scared to sleep outside and slept in friends cars and couches until..he wasn't scared any more. He prefers having no one to answer to, not even friends. When he was little he couldn't understand expectations...now he just doesn't want them in his life. I too did better when I was independent, which was not traumatic for me as it was for you...it was just an expectation of my parents that when I went to college I would take care of myself mostly, and when I was done with college I would take care of myself completely. And so it was. I do find that my difficult child expects little or nothing from me...that is sort of sad in and of itself, but is also a relief. Thank you for your honest sharing and reply. [/QUOTE]
