[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 600830, member: 1721"] The hardest thing, next to the pain of watching our children suffer and fall, is faulting ourselves for what is happening to them. I found your requirements for your difficult child to be entirely appropriate. I think it was very helpful for difficult child that you listed the requirements clearly and simply. Maybe they resent our help so much because they know, on some level, that it is the difference in themselves that makes this kind of help necessary, and so they rail against it. It makes sense that your son would have come to believe his problems would all be behind him, once he became an adult. It must be frightening to understand you are not going to grow up and be fine, after all. Do you think he might be more accepting if you put a time limit on the requirements? Like, if he cooperates with the check-ins and is doing well for three months, then you would require the checks every other month for the next six months? Barbara [/QUOTE]
