[QUOTE="okmeme, post: 10303, member: 616"] My former difficult child is now a drill sergeant in the Army, has spent a tour in Iraq and a year at Pan Moon Jon, United Nations Base in Korea, and has 10 years in...it was the best thing that ever happened to him. It gave him the structure he needed as well as the activity and diverse interests. He has seen the world (not under the best of circumstances always), had had to solve his own problems, has learned to live without Mom to back him up, and supports a wife and child. Pretty successful person also and darn likeable guy. I knew the military would either make him or break him and he was one of the lucky ones who really found his place in life there. I sometimes never thought we would get to here, but he is a definite success story for a not-former-difficult child. He will always be my difficult child. The military isn't for everyone, but nothing is for everyone. We all have to find our own way. Let him see how far he can go. It may be just right for him. [/QUOTE]
