[QUOTE="Elsieshaye, post: 523543, member: 12928"] Sending good thoughts, Nancy. Several years ago, when difficult child was really struggling (just after his felony conviction), I emailed friends and family and asked them to send me a little letter or a picture or something that related to positive experiences they had with difficult child. The idea was to show him how much he is loved, and give him a tangible thing to shore him up when he didn't want to talk to us. Part of that was making a collage of pictures of him over time, and I noticed that as he got older, his pictures got angrier and angrier. He pretty much rejected the book, and never looked at it as far as I know. I still can't look at the pictures, because it reminds me that something was going wrong and I feel powerless to know what it was exactly or to have prevented it. [/QUOTE]
