[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 568668, member: 13542"] Geez WTW, I'm sorry, that stuff is so hard on us Mom's. I have a grown up difficult child who has just about all the same ways of seeing the world as your difficult child does, through some odd maze of being free against all odds and bending her life around to keep that freedom at all costs. I can't assume to know what your boy is thinking, with my difficult child it's as if the rules and lines within most of us live are so abhorrent to her that she will risk anything to be free of them. For us parents, it's a scary ride through hell. You DID do your best and from my standpoint "out here" you did a wonderful job. You are loving him, not judging him, offering him options you can live with too and allowing him to make his own choices. Gosh, that's such a tough place to be. I know that place intimately and my heart goes out to you. All we can do is let go and let them know we love them. You've done all the right things. He is so young. My difficult child had these same tendencies when she was very young too. The last time I saw my difficult child she held on to me like your son held on to you. Of course, my difficult child is 40 years old, however, sometimes I feel like that connection to me is her connection to the real world, the world of sanity. Acceptance of the world in which she lives is always a challenge for me and when I land there, I feel better, but getting there is a bumpy ride...........I send my prayers for your difficult child to find his way and you to find peace............many gentle hugs for you Mom........
