[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 675168, member: 831"] Hi Terry, Been a long time since our days back in General. You always stood out to me because our Difficult Child boys were about the same age and my Difficult Child son would say and do some of the same crazy stuff as your Difficult Child. The struggles you went through for this boy along with the enormous efforts and help to do your best that he would become a self-sufficient and law-abiding adult. With all that, today this is where it stands. I'm so sorry. If it's any consolation, he's still very young and it's far from over. At this point, it's ALL up to him. Please, try and stand back and let him figure it out. Seek comfort in those things you find pleasurable. I have to share that I caught my breath when you wrote that Difficult Child claimed you didn't wish him happy birthday because it was the day BEFORE his birthday. O.M.G...Totally something MY Difficult Child son would say. He also refuses to take any medication. I always said he would have to leave if he did that. Just one more empty threat on my part as he is still living at home, but is about to earn a certificate from a technical school. Of course, I feel disappointed somewhat. I wanted college. He doesn't drive yet, so this limits his employment options. He blames me because I don't trust him with the car. I visit here often, but don't post a lot because I returned to school to get my masters. Please return and let us know how your doing. You do cross my mind. Dazed [/QUOTE]
