[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 643487, member: 13558"] I'm another with an older difficult child, we've been 'hoeing this dirt patch' a long time. I heard this saying for the first time last month lol. Once, when my son was acting out (teens) a coworker told me her brother used to control their parents by acting out and stealing cars. I did not understand how she meant 'control' the parents. Years later I get it! My difficult child was a difficult baby and I know now he learned at a very early age that he could wait me out and I would give in. It's so very hard, I wish I could post all the money, worry, and tears made mine a responsible person, it has not. He is highly intelligent, likeable, has had so many try to help him, and is still stuck. Somehow their 'wiring' is so foreign to the way we are! husband says they think differently than we do, but it's so much more, the immaturity, they totally miss cause and effect. Or maybe they just know if they wait long enough someone will bail them out. When my difficult child and girlie were panhandling, she did post she never met a homeless person that needed food or clothes. They were (for the most part) treated well. She did say the homeless needed more shelters. But, they were also living in the car and using their money to follow a band around! (((hugs, take care of you today))) [/QUOTE]
