[QUOTE="KFld, post: 56824, member: 2442"] Sorry to hear it's not going well. I have to tell you though, he probably won't really appreciate time with you until he matures a little more. At that age my difficult child wouldn't have wanted to spend anytime with my husband or I like that, but now that he's 20 and clean he is just starting to appreciate it. My difficult child went to VT with us this past weekend with just my husband, myself and my mother and father inlaw and he actually had a great time. A few years back it would have been like pulling teeth to get him to do something like that with us, never mind enjoy it. Don't beat yourself up over it. More has to do with the age and wanting to be around kids his own age then him not wanting to be with you. I know you thought and planned long and hard for this trip.Sorry it wasn't what you thought it was going to be. [/QUOTE]
