[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 466041, member: 84"] Signorina I know you're worried about difficult child, and I understand that. been there done that But it would probably be more constructive to place that energy you're using worrying over him onto other family. Your other boys are still teens. Try to enjoy the time you have left with them at home. Find some fun stuff to do together when you're feeling down if you can. It's a win/win. You get a distraction from worry, while you and the pcs get to spend some quality time together. It can be so hard shifting from parenting a child, especially a difficult child, to being the parent of an adult. That learning to let go and let them live with the decisions they make is not an easy adjustment and takes practice. You have to learn to trust in the things you spent a lifetime teaching him. It's his choice whether he will use it or not........and it will probably take more maturity for him to figure out his parents actually [B]did[/B] know what they were talking about. But we're always here when you need to let it out. It's ok. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
