[QUOTE="Beta, post: 757274, member: 22597"] Copa, Yes, I agree. Parenting involves bonding to another human being; otherwise, how else would one human being be willing to sacrifice their needs and wants for another? So the hard part is learning to let go of that innate response as they come into adulthood and relate to them a little differently. Oh boy, you are "spot on" with this. I never dreamed we would be dealing with this sort of thing either. I thought I had the perfect child and had this picture of him as growing into a solid, responsible, caring, protective young man who would be honorable; who would be successful in whatever he did. Coming around to an entirely different life scenario is still hard. [/QUOTE]
