[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 204841, member: 3907"] Sue, I really like Everywoman's advice about allowing yourself to hold onto some delusional thoughts as a form of self preservation. It's hard to know what to say. I've always related so strongly to your posts about thank you because you could be describing my difficult child. He too refuses to participate in improving his lot in life, and it's incredibly frustrating, disheartening and sad. I wonder...if you focus on the fact that you've done everything humanly possible and then some, that there's nothing you could have done differently or better to change thank you's outcome, whatever that outcome will be, and then let go and let God... Sometimes, when my difficult child was facing the threat of a long jail sentence, I used to just sit in bed and mumble to myself, "there's nothing more I could have done, there's nothing more I could have done" I think you've made superhuman efforts over the years for thank you. As Everywoman suggested, maybe you could try just picturing him the way you'd like him to be. Energy is a mysterious thing...visualizing how you want him to turn out may help you to get through sleepless nights, but it might also have an effect on how thank you sees himself. I'm sorry you're facing this Sue. It's not easy, no matter which way you look at it. {{{{{HUGS}}}}} Trinity [/QUOTE]
