[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 652349, member: 17635"] Hi Weary, Everything you feel, i have felt. We certainly understand. My difficult child is 33 now. For years, friends and family members (not the majority, but some) would let us know how they thought the situation was in some way my and husband's doing. Sometimes the advice was along the lines of, [I]Just take a walk when your son starts acting like that. [/I]That's funny now, years later, to think back on that expert parent's advice. A friend's parents took difficult child in, only to kick him out 6 weeks later. And, it is tough hearing that advice: [I]Here's what [B]I [/B]would do[/I]. Those folks do not have a clue what you are dealing with. and, my parents enabled all along. They helped difficult child quite a bit. Guess how often he stays in touch with them now? Never. They are 82 & 83 years old but no longer on difficult child's radar once the money stopped. Cedar sometimes refers to me always saying this, so I feel badly when I forget! :p [B]But, truly stay close to this board. It is absolutely what got husband and me through those first weeks.[/B] SS [/QUOTE]
