[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 662716, member: 17542"] Sounds like there is progress. I think we have to learn to recognize and value progress when it happens and not brush past it waiting for perfection. Nobody is perfect and people just aren't going to live their lives like we want them to and that is one key thing we have to accept. One thing I am learning is just to be grateful for small things right now. To recognize them, name them and be thankful for them. I also am being reminded in so many ways that other people can handle things just fine without me being involved at all. I can just stand back and stand down and watch the amazing things people do all on their own (said a bit tongue in cheek but not much!!). It is very humbling. You have decided to help someone who is showing definite progress. I know that can be a slippery slope but trust what you see. It is all about action. Words mean little and that is something else I am continually being reminded of. The less I say, the better. Sunday we will take Difficult Child and easy child out for the afternoon to the lake with the jetskis for PCs birthday. He will be 26 Monday. I just want to enjoy the time without any expectations at all. [/QUOTE]
