[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 629883, member: 15801"] I dont know a whole lot about his birth mother but I know a little. I did meet her.....I think she did have a lot of issues herself and I know nothing about his birthfather. I do know, most of the time, that he is the way he is just because.... I think if anything we saved him from a worse fate because he did grow up in a loving home and that probably helped him, it is just hard Occupational Therapist (OT) measure how. And yes it does feel a lot like he is in relationship to get what he can from us... and so I am distancing myself emotionally. I hope some day it is different but I am coming to some acceptance of the way it is. That is reality. At y alanon meeting someone talked about how she found it harder when she had hope, that what really helped her was coming to acceptance of it is what it is..... and I think that is where I am getting to. When I hope for the future I am disappointed when he throws it all away.... he may always throw it away. He may not...... but it is what it is. TL Sent using ConductDisorders mobile app [/QUOTE]
