[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 181563, member: 1161"] Just wanted to say hi, welcome out of lurkdom. I also wanted to say that if our difficult child's were not our children, we wouldn't particularly like them because of their actions. You've done what you can to help him make those right choices and now the rest is up to him. I don't know, but I always think that there's always a hope they may get tired of the chaos and take what you've given them and turn their life into something better, and then perhaps you'll begin to like the person he can become. If he makes wrong choices, don't feel bad that you don't like it or him. Why do we expect ourselves to like them just because they're our children. I think the reason it hurts so much to dislike our difficult children is because we do love them as our children. [/QUOTE]
