[QUOTE="DDD, post: 603709, member: 35"] been there done that. I never did find "the right" balance. easy child/difficult child was very observant and intelligent even as a preschooler. He would tell me what Mommy did that he didn't think was right. After alot of soul searching I decided to consistently just make two points. "I'm sorry Mommy made a poor choice. Each person has to make choices every day about what is right and what is not right. Sometimes those choices are hard to make but in our family if we don't "know" in our hearts whether something is right or wrong....we walk away and just assume it's wrong." The other point was that you do not help anyone making a wrong choice...no matter who they are. I lived in fear that he would be used as a carrier for some illegal items. It's a hard position to be in and I'm sorry you are living thru it now. We did our best as he lived with us (also, by the way, took concerta) and until the teen years he was almost a complete pleasure. Interestingly, his Mom began to spend more time with him and his moral compass got all messed up. Best of luck to you. DDD [/QUOTE]
