[QUOTE="klmno, post: 278452, member: 3699"] Thank you all- you've made me feel a lot better. I think I'll write him today and try to be supportive without lecturing. Ha! I had thought he must be many years behind his peers in maturity when I heard all this. After reading everyone's post, maybe he isn't as far behind as I'd feared- at least for a difficult child. I am glad he's still opening up to me about what's going on his head and of course, I can't be the one to decide his priorities. No matter how old he his- he simply has to decide for himself what kind of person he wants to be and what is important to him and what he's willing to do to obtain what he wants in life. I will try to remind myself that even if he chooses something I don't agree with now, a few years down the road he might regret it and change his priorities. I think I understand now why people used to tell me I was going thru the easy part when I was struggling to stay awake, keep the baby provided for, fed, and healthy when he was first born. LOL! Thanks for all your support! [/QUOTE]
