[QUOTE="amys3yungins, post: 625555, member: 17137"] This is exactly how my difficult child responds to me too. It is so frustrating to have these kinds of reactions when all I ever wanted was to be able to be his encourager and to be able to be proud of him. I was just talking to God this morning about this communication pattern me and difficult child share. I thought about the fact that this is how the Lord must feel when all he wants is a relationship with us and we could care less. He knows the same feeling all too well and much more I know. I hate it. It makes me feel like difficult child doesn't like me. My difficult child just got his 60 day chip too. He is in a rehab and seems to be doing well there. My husband and I go see him on Wednesday nights. Last week I took him some bus passes ( as he can attend meetings across town on the weekends), and his clothes that he had washed and left in my mom's car. He didn't seem to care. He gave no thank you. He was irritated that he had to take this small bag of clothes into the meeting. REALLY??!! And then there are times when he is less introverted and I see a glimpse of the son that I want a relationship with, a relationship I feel we have NEVER had. One day at a time, one day at a time.... I pray that God restores our difficult children in every way. It sounds like yours has been making positive changes over all lately and I really hope it continues. This site is wonderful and it reminds me I am not alone. amys3yungins [/QUOTE]
