[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 708248, member: 18958"] My son sounds like your older girl. As you may be aware he has been living with us or near us for a year which had been characterized by the same pushing and pulling as defined our relationship in the years 19 through 23. He is now 28. I wanted him to go to the military but he could not be considered due to a chronic illness. I want to say this about our experiencing vicariously their ups and downs, ins and outs: There comes a point when they hear us, but until then they will override anything we do to reverse the tide. Because that is what it is like: an ocean tide. Until whatever it is that changes them, the currents, or weather or geology or whatever, they will prevail. Our trying to prevent it or guide it or control it does not one thing. I, too, know this from experience. [/QUOTE]
