[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 584294, member: 6546"] gsingjane-- Yes - I this is completely ridiculous....and I think somewhere deep-down you agree that this is ridiculous, too. But - I think your Mommy-heart is not ready to let go of the vision of the happy and wildly-successful adult that you always dreamed your son would become. I think you are still holding on to the hope that one day he "could be" this or that. And so you are held hostage by the hope that suddenly he will change....and everything will be OK. The catch-22, of course, is that by not facing any consequences and having everyone accomodate him all the time - there really is no reason for him to change. The things he is doing are working for him. And he is certainly not sitting anywhere wringing his hands with worry over what his parents want for him. So sorry your heart is hurting... (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
