[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 611240"] Toughlovin: You are very brave and very wise. It is so sad that you've had to learn how to detach and to cope with this rather extreme situation. But, you are doing it with great dignity. Good that you have given him some options to use, if he so chooses to use them. The adoption part of it is very interesting to me...as my difficult child is also adopted. I'm glad you are moving forward with your life. Three Shadows: Wow, your difficult child story is inspiring and fascinating. Our son (bio) went through a brief difficult child period and is a super easy child today. Nothing like your story, though. No doubt your son will learn more about parenting when he has his own children. Our difficult child daughter is adopted. She was difficult child as a young child and is a difficult child today. She seems so lost. This sentence caught my eye in particular: "[I]There were so many times that I thought he would not experience gratitude." [/I] I have often thought that many mentally or emotionally ill people simply have great trouble experiencing gratitude. I know this is often the case with our daughter. Fortunately, not always, but often... What a blessing that your difficult child finally learned gratitude and in the end, saved himself. [/QUOTE]
