[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 690848, member: 1550"] I liked that one too, Cedar. We let go of ALL of our children and give them their autonomy, including our easy kids who we have had so much fun raising. I had to let go of Sonic and his autism and it was so hard partly because of his challenges, but mostly be cause he is a pleasure. The hardest for me to let go of is Jumper, by far my easiest to raise and a highly rewarding child who adores us. But if I had clung to any of my kids, I probably would have chased them away no matter how much we love. Our adult children need to be free and I feel they also want to feel that we are proud of them. Of course it is hard to do this if they refuse to at least try to succeed...or are plain nasty to us. I feel for those who still struggle with difficult adult children. Remember that life is constantly changing. My d c turned around. There is no reason why yours won't either. [/QUOTE]
