[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 300358, member: 2315"] difficult child has all kinds of issues and self esteem is one of them. He has a bit of a hero complex. He wants respect and doesn't know how to get it in the normal everyday ways so he latches onto things like becomming a Marine, or a cop, or a basketball star or a fireman. He has only ever really done the work toward such a goal in his quest to be a fire fighter. Truthfully he isn't really cut out for it and usually does traffic control but he gets to wear the uniform and it seems to give him a confidence boost. His letter says that he responded to this particular fire. "Enclosed is a newspaper article with a picture of a fire that I responded to. You can see me so I thought You might want it." husband thinks he is just making a substitution this fire for the last one he did respond to but I am not sure. I do know that I don't want to go in with guns blazing if he is not doing well. -RM [/QUOTE]
