[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 597938, member: 84"] It is really difficult to truly understand what another person has gone through or is going through unless you've experienced something similar, even for those who honestly try to "get it". It doesn't even have to be difficult child related, could be an illness or job loss or whatever. I try hard not to say never. When I have it has often come back to bite me in the backside. I also try harder not to judge. This one isn't quite as easy, but I do try. Dealing with grown children is just plain something you're not going to be able to understand until you live it. Just as it is impossible to understand how it is to raise a child until you've done it. I made mistakes with Katie that I did NOT repeat with her younger siblings. Experience is the best teacher. I'm sorry your relative had to learn to be empathetic with your situation by having to experience a similar one herself. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
