[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 427502, member: 1233"] wife did great but a real difficult child can find a way to mess up anything. Your wife followed through with what she had said and she gave the ride to detox, which is awesome. Even with the only ride being to go there, you cannot force detox on someone. It is very upsetting but your difficult child sure has earned the name. I have often thought that difficult children spend the majority of their time trying to find ways to mess up anything that anyone wants them to do that might be good for them. IF they put half of that amt of effort into something positive and productive tehy would end up running the universe, Know what I mean?? I have a cousin who was a total difficult child as a teen but had his mom totally snowed about most of it. At age 30 he finally went to college for a year or so and was truly shocked at how much less work it was than trying to figure out ways to go against everything that anyone wanted for him that was good and positive. I had to laugh when he called about this because I had told him for many years that if he put the same amt of effort that he put into getting into trouble and messing up his life into college he would have a Ph. D in less than 6 years - going from GED to PhD in that time! [/QUOTE]
