[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 674376, member: 17635"] Hi New Leaf, I am so very sorry you had to deal with this. I relate to much of your post, especially the part about life being easier when you do not see your daughter. husband and I love our 34 year old Difficult Child, but turning him over to God and not dealing with his stuff sure makes our lives easier. And.....there is nothing left for us to do for him. Like so many others, we have tried everything we could think of. One way I lean is that [I]not much of anything he says is true[/I]. So, a couple sentences of your post jumped out at me. Our youngest works at an upscale pizza place near an expensive private college in our town. There are student apartments above the businesses in the "village" neighborhood where he works. The last day of school is huge because these students toss out all sorts of very expensive stuff. It is mind boggling. Our son found a very nice guitar last spring. Others retrieved a bicycle, expensive backpack.... Anyway, I felt compelled to share that - in case your daughter was honest about that. And, I would never have even noticed that comment if my youngest has not experienced this first-hand. We get so used to our difficult kids skewing the truth, that I think it is understandable when we miss the times they MAY be being honest. I am not saying your daughter was, but it is very possible. and, i would love for you to have that knowledge SS ;) [/QUOTE]
