[QUOTE="Stress Bunny, post: 629428, member: 4855"] Cakewalk, Wow! That's great news, and so encouraging too. How did your difficult child work his way out of his issues so that he could finish college and maintain employment? I would imagine that at some point HE decided to make better choices for himself, but what brought him to that point? Do you think he matured with time, or did he hit the proverbial "bottom"? My oldest difficult child is 20, flunked college, lost many jobs (but is currently keeping a good one), abused drugs and alcohol, and was even jailed recently. He thinks rebellion is cool, as well as guns, knives, cigarettes, an unkempt appearance, and foul language. He is also engaging in very promiscuous behavior and likes to use others to get what he wants from them. So, we are in the thick of it, for sure. I do hope one day to be able to report back to the board, as you have, that things have turned around. I am so very happy for you and also thankful that you took the time to share your good news.
