[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 639973, member: 1157"] I'm always amazed at how much some of the conversations posted here, sound almost exactly like ones I've had with one of my difficult children in the past. in my opinion, this was the best part of your conversation : That's the bottom line, for me. It's not your responsibility to find him another "unstressful" place to live, it's his. difficult children are stuck in the land of "instant gratification" - they don't like something they feel like it has to change, immediately. They turn everything into a crisis. They get mad at a roommate, they have to storm out/move out. They get mad at an employer, they walk off/quit. Life doesn't treat you so well when you keep doing that. Adults have to plan changes, if they want positive results. The fact he didn't call you back is familiar to me as well .. a crisis one day, can be completely forgotten the next. I've learned over the years not to panic when I get those kinds of calls any more. Chances are within 24 hours, things will be completely different anyway. [/QUOTE]
