[QUOTE="Roxona, post: 682034, member: 19076"] Maturity. That's the part I think gets J every time. He has always been about two to three years behind his peers in maturity. J just turned 20, and right now I have started seeing him acting like a normal teenager, instead of the rebellious, anti-social person I have experienced since he turned 18. Right now I see him trying very hard to figure out the next steps to his success and independence. He has a girlfriend, and right now I see him looking to the future of what he might have with her. Never before did he look this way to me. From 16-18 we had a geeky boy who was obsessed with video games and acting like a 14 year old. At 18 we lost him for a good year and a half. Now I feel like I have the geeky boy back but with more maturity. He's not where he's supposed to be at 20, but I'll take it (minus the raging anger please). Perhaps by the time he's 22, he'll be in community college working on a trade. I'd be okay with that because at least I would have him back from the hell he got sucked into and back on the right track. [/QUOTE]
