[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 317664, member: 84"] Welcome to the board lightseeker. :) People who have not lived life with difficult children rarely actually "get it". Which makes it even harder on parents who are attempting to cope. I think most of us have contemplated running away where no one can find us at one time or another (or several lol)........I know that I've had those thoughts more than once myself. Once I used to have the illusion that somehow it would all be magically better once my difficult children turned 18. Wow. What a naive idiot I was. Obviously didn't think that "dream" through. lol Actually it can be sooooo much harder once they reach the late teen years and get past the 18 mark. And on top of it getting worse, your limit control of the situation gets blown out of the water the day they turn 18 and supposedly become an adult. ugh Looking forward to getting to know you. This is a great family, you'll love it here. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
