[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 7186, member: 2315"] Well I agree Alyssa as to some things being private. I am not a nosey mother who has to know all my kids business. Actually I prefer to not know some things LOL. It is just that the things he keeps private are different than most peoples (Like what his friend's name is and whether he had a good day at work) and the things he shares are things he should keep private (like his sexual activity or lack of and the fact that this girl asked for lingere). The drinking is a major stressor for me as it was once suggested by a psychiatrist that he might be Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). From adolecence we have educated him that for him drinking could become a major problem in a very short period of time due to the possiblity that he was addicted at birth. The other thing is that if he feels slighted by anyone he just seeths anger. He harbors it and obcesses over it and it is hard to even be in the same room. It doesn't matter that I have not been the one to slight him. when he is angry he cannot differenciate it or turn it off when dealing with innocent others. Then he'll ask for advice and husband and I will give it to him and he will argue and keep comming back with to us the same stuff day after day. we have to actually get abrupt with him to end the cycle. It is hard on us and with husband's new job starting soon I will be the only one available to easy child/difficult child. He will wear me out in no time. His siblings have distanced themselves for this reason. They love him but can only take him in very small doses. And they do not understand why he finds it so easy to blow off major family functions such as weddings and landmark birthdays but can not ever say no to his friends. OK I realize that this sounds like typical difficult child stuff but easy child/difficult child is not ever disrespectful. He never yells at us never curses will do things if we ask but only specifically what we ask nothing more. It isn't that he is lazy he just doesn't think further than what we specificly ask. Like if I ask him to run the dishwasher and there are a few dishes in the sink he will turn the machine on without adding the couple of dirty dishes in the sink. -RM [/QUOTE]
