How many of us have adult difficult children we don't talk to?

[QUOTE="Kolleen, post: 179198"] Interesting to see this today. I have just been coming to this realization myself. We barely talk now, especially after the recent incident of both cars being impounded, driving without license (which he had thought he'd taken care of?????) court dates starting for this stuff. After sonnyboy is out of here end of Sept. we might have a chance of grabbing a sandwich once in awhile. We've done this in the past when he was out. Minimal conversation but at least a smidge of contact for me. At the Parent Meeting last night we also talked about this. This has become a concern of mine, especially since he's my only family in the state now. So I'm prepping myself for lack of contact. I only hear from easy child if I call him, big sigh! It's sad because when our picture of family doesn't match reality. I copied the following quote from someone on this board and really like it. We have to keep learning: [COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana]"We did the best we could with what we knew...And when we knew more, we did better!" ~ Maya Angelou[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana][/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana]Take care..........[/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
