[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 700817, member: 1550"] I think I understand other parents and what they do, even if we disagree. They are tired, some are old and/or sick, some have other kids who they need to focus on. I get it. A difficult child ages us and upsets the others at home and some just wait until their Difficult Child turns 18 and then says get out. I am not sure that this approach doesn't work as well as those of us who try and try. Maybe trying too hard makes them think we will be their rescue forever. I can't judge. One of my kids turned it all around. The other is somebody I would not even want to know if he were not my son. He is nearly 40 and is not going to change and I tried everything. At this point, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with him and I give up, although I would not tell him so. He is my kid most likely to take his own life, but I can't do anymore. He won't accept ideas like getting help...that makes him swear at me and hang up. Yes, he us almost 40 and NOT on drugs. That is just him being himself. Mamma K, I hope everything turns out. Your daughter is still so young. [/QUOTE]
