[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 201641, member: 1436"] Well, Happy Birthday difficult child, and hugs mom. I think that boys---especially "our" boys, take much longer to reach that magical "mature" thing. I hate that society sees 18 the way it does. All the research I've seen shows that male brains do not reach full maturity in impulse control and reasoning until about 25. I know that my own difficult child is years behind socially and emotionally. Where the world sees a 20 year old---I know he is actually about 16/17. And a lot of people can't see it. Hopefully Matt will stay in treatment, will move forward in life. But, you have been a good mom and a great support to him. Have a piece of cake and celebrate 18 years of being a mom. [/QUOTE]
