[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 669815, member: 18958"] I will add my voice here too, Suzir, Lil and others. There were always problems in our case, but there was love, joy and cohesion. First to go was the cohesion. Of course, looking back I can understand that. He had to grow up. Then the joy. While he is doing better, I do not see how he will ever be truly independent. He complains he wishes he was not alive. He bemoans what he lacks in his life. I do not regret adopting him or loving him. The love is still there as strong as it ever was. I believe on both of our parts. But there is little joy. There is fear and there is responsibility. I can see he is trying to rebuild our relationship. He thinks before he says things that he knows will hurt me. But tells me anyway. He seems to be trying to restore the cohesion. While I want it and need it, I would want him to be happy and content. I would want him to have goals and hope. What I want, I know, matters not at all. [/QUOTE]
