[QUOTE="wakeupcall, post: 113803, member: 2287"] Reading this thread could almost make me cry....and my difficult child is ony 12. I can see this happening to us in a few years, but I too think difficult child is mentally ill and couldn't most likely ever live out on his own. He DOES have the maturity now of about an 8 year old and I keep wondering if he's going to catch up....ever. He's VERY dependent on us...husband cuts his meat into bitesize pieces, reminds him to wash his hair in the shower, I fold his clothes out of the dryer and keep them in MY room because all he does is trash his drawers, etc. I know he'll outgrow some of this, but it sounds like to me that your son wants to be in the thick of things and if he's in his room he might just miss out on something, thus moving into the living room. My difficult child is exactly the same even at his age. He is up my nose all the time....it's exhausting. I stumble over him trying to cook dinner. Although your son has the appearance of a grown man, he isn't. Patience is very difficult sometimes. Be strong, and remember YOU are a warrior mom!! [/QUOTE]
