[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 458077"] Very well put Hound Dog. My difficult child always wanted his independence in that he wants to do what he wants to do but he really was lost about how to really do it. And now that he is out of the house and over 18 I really feel there is nothing I can do so I am no longer trying to tell him what to do that is helping our relationship. I can't say at this point we have a really good relationship because we don't but I think he knows I love him, and i know that even though he may not be able to access those feelings he loves me too. I also know without a doubt that if we to come back and live at home our relationship would deteriate fast. That is partly because the bad decisions he make that i disagree with would drive me nuts and i would want to put rules in place to keep him in check, he would then violate any and all rules or like through his teeth.....oh it would be awful. So Ally... fact is your relationship will probably improve when he is not living with you...not right away of course but with time. TL [/QUOTE]
