[QUOTE="wantpeace, post: 523808, member: 14002"] I was completely stressed out over my difficult child all week because of his court hearing. It was affecting every aspect of my life. I read Janet's post last night and woke up thinking more about it this morning. I even had a conversation about it with a friend. I felt weight lifted off my shoulders and was more relaxed today than I've been in awhile. I know some people probably took offense to Janet's message, but I needed to hear it at that exact moment. Driving ourselves crazy to help our difficult children when they're not open to helping themselves is likely a waste of time. I was thinking about the big trouble makers in high school (the "burnouts") and most of them are doing well now. I know the drugs kids are doing now are much more harmful, and I don't intend to ever accept any drug use. I just feel like this is consuming every once of my energy and killing my positive spirit. Life is too short, and I'd like to enjoy it for change. Thanks for your perspective, Janet. Hugs, wantpeace [/QUOTE]
