[QUOTE="Fran, post: 288297, member: 3"] Thanks again. I hope that difficult child with the new supports he has in place will be able to get what he needs to get started. It takes time but maybe that's what he needed. I keep nudging him to do things outside his comfort zone. Yesterday it was driving my pick up. He only drives his car and is anxious about our cars. He got nudged and he did it. Lots of encouragement and support and reassurance along the way. We realize that difficult child has a way to go but if he can identify his own weaknesses and get the right tools to handle it he may eventually just blend in. He knows his money skills are a disaster. Hopefully he will continue to let someone else supervise his money and hold him accountable. It's worked for the last year. I also hope he tries to master some of his issues that hold him back like money. We will see. I planted seeds over the last year. Hopefully they will grow a bit more. Linda, thank you.:warrior:All we can do is have a balanced vision of what the future will be and help difficult child to get to that point. [/QUOTE]
