[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 597853, member: 14356"] Trinity - I hope 'they' are right. 25 is the magic number I am hanging on for right now. It's like I'm holding my breath until then to wait and see what difficult child will do. Change or not? I hope your difficult child finds that spark inside himself but even if society is what makes him do what he needs to do for now.... well, at least he is doing it. There's a little consolation. I think if he is making some leaps that it'll be a matter of time before he makes that leap with you. Does he only regress when he is around family? That could be a trigger for him because he has a lifetime of being your 'child' and only a short time of being your 'adult child' and redefining a different relationship. Maybe a conversation around what that means to be an 'adult child' might help. [/QUOTE]
