[QUOTE="amstrong, post: 47957, member: 3266"] No real wise words here just want to let you know I have, very recently, been where you are. It is gut wrenching and so hard to realize that what you teach sometimes goes out the window. I am learning, slooooowly, to detach from my difficult child-something that came easy with DEX-different ball of wax when it is your kid. My Mom did share this with me recently. She said you do the best you can with what you have to offer. She said that usually, in most cases, even the best easy child of kids will disappoint their parent(s) and you just have to accept it, let it go and know that you did the best you could. I love my Mom, she is great and when I was a teen, I thought I hated her. Hang on to the fact that you did the best you could and try not to make yourself crazy. I soooo needed to see myself write this-this place not only gives me good advice, it makes me see that my own advice can be wise, if I will just slow down and listen to myself. Hugs, [/QUOTE]
