[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 30115, member: 3579"] I have two - my older son (difficult child 2) is [b]slowly[/b] getting better. He's still not much fun to be around, but he's not the hard-nosed fight picker that he used to be. Could be an aspie, but we don't know for certain. For him, though, he's about to graduate HS and may be joining the Navy. Both of which will be a big help to him (one will relieve stress, one will give him security). So he's starting to show some signs of improvement. [img]:whew:[/img] My younger son, though, seems to be regressing. The harder we try, the worse he gets. We've only been working through things with him for a year, though, and have at least another year before he's out of school (Kansas won't let you emancipate until 18 or HS grad, whichever comes later). Hopefully, it won't come to that and it'll get better for us all (at least that's what I pray for every night), but I'm expecting a long and drawn-out process before it's all over, regardless of how it ends up. [img]:grrr:[/img] [img]:rolleyes:[/img] Does it get better? The best answer I think you'll find here is "Yes it can, but there are no guarantees". In the end, the only guarantee is that you can make it better for yourself. It will only get better for your difficult child once he wants it to get better, and that's a decision that's out of your hands. Most people here have a very intimate understanding and relationship with the Serenity Prayer. In the end, that may be the best answer you'll find. Grace and peace to you and yours. Mikey [/QUOTE]
