[QUOTE="pinevalley, post: 520108, member: 3710"] AG: I can totally understand your frustration at your difficult child's twisted way of thinking. It sounds like he is free of the drugs now, but he still has a long way to go in his recovery. Your difficult child sounds so much like my difficult child that it is scary. My son used to scream at me when he wasn't getting his way, saying "His life would be so much better if I just stayed out of it, and he made all the decisions." He thought that just because he was 18 years old and legally an adult that h and I should let him do whatever he wanted. I couldn't believe that difficult child was actually demanding to make his own decisions, while also lying, stealing, and using drugs every day. 18 years old was the magic age for our difficult child, because he really thought that he was entitled to live his life the way he wanted it just because he was now supposed to be an adult. Good luck with the discharge plan and setting boundaries for your difficult child. I will send you virtual strength for the days ahead. Stay strong... [/QUOTE]
