[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 279257, member: 3305"] Isn't it AMAZING how we can end up with such opposites ends of the spectrum coming out of the same household! One with the drive and focus...the other without. But, maybe it's just gonna take difficult child longer to figure it out. I kinda laugh to myself about difficult child going in "as is"...they don't like to comply with expectations...I think difficult child's truly want the rest of the world (like we already do) to accept them unconditionally. Love them for the super cool people they are, lol. I think you're wise to back off and let them realize things on their own...am wondering though How do you think difficult child would react if you suggested she take more time preparing herself for an interview? Would she get angry at you? Or do you feel like that is interferring too much with something she needs to figure out herself? Anyway, I DO understand the heartbreak...am hoping that your difficult child just is gonna take alittle longer to get there but that she WILL get there. Hang in there Mom. Hugs, Tammy [/QUOTE]
