[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 714288, member: 13303"] They are their own people. Some of them do "age out" of their most problematic behavior, others may not but in every case WE have the choice to allow their actions to control us, or not...... My Difficult Stepson is railing against the wind at the moment, and I know some of that is developmentally appropriate at one month shy of 17 years.....the part of it that is temperamental will hopefully be tempered by experience. But I don't have a working crystal ball. I can say that a few things WE did have helped our relationship with him - radical acceptance that he isn't the Model Child my wife hoped for being at the top of the list. Hope this is helpful....
