[QUOTE="SunnyFlorida, post: 99464, member: 696"] A couple of years ago when both difficult child's were giving us grief, I really wondered why "someone" thinks I can do this. I really questioned myself as a mother and as a woman. I knew I was too intertwined with difficult child 1 and he was treating me like a "friend". But....as things usually do with me...I got mad. I got mad that dang it, I'm a good mom, dang it...we provided, taught, educated, stressed values, didn't overindulge....and still we got caught with difficult child's who used drugs/substances. Sure...difficult child 1 was adhd...well gee whiz...it morphed. It morphed to BiPolar (BP)...was it always BiPolar (BP) and no one knew?, I never had a clue until I came here. My take is along the same lines as Suz. You did what you did, you raised him to 18, he's 30. He's successful, alive, happy in his own world, confident, and whatever. He doesn't have to like you or be a part of your family. All your other kids are happy to be around you.....what does that tell you! I guess, what I worry about is...are you dwelling on one apple when the whole barrel is right there beside you? Here's a ****sunny smile**** and {{{sunny hug}}}}, jest you go about your wonderful world and never mind what one lil' ole' apple is doing. You know you've done right. [/QUOTE]
