[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 643020, member: 1550"] Your role is to be his best cheerleader when he does something good and in my opinion to step back at other times and let him grow up. You can tell him, when he comes to you with his latest problem, "You have always been very smart and I know you can figure this out." I would (and do) cut my conversations short if difficult child is in a mood. Arguing with them can get both ugly and very hurtful to us. Yes, of course there is hope, but it has to come from HIM. If you want it and he doesn't, it won't work. When he gets tired of the life he is living, that is when he will change it. Take care and be good to yourself :) [/QUOTE]
