[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 622425, member: 1550"] I am so sorry, SS, but so glad that he has gone so far that you are able to move on with your day. 36 does that too. Honestly, if he wasn't my son, I would not want to even have casual talk with him. The truth is, it is hard sometimes for us to feel motherly love toward our difficult children. And I don't mean all of them. I mean the ones who are verbally and/or physically abusive to us and belittle their childhoods and how we parented them, especially when our other children don't see it that way. Honestly, I sometimes think a difficult child is a difficult child because of skewed reality. The truth is, most of our difficult children were spoiled rotten, loved on endlessly, and had every opportunity to have a wonderful life. Many are brilliant yet did not finish college (36). They could have, but they didn't for a variety of reasons. Those with mental illness had the chance for the best mental health treatment available because we cared so much. [/QUOTE]
