[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 587797, member: 13558"] It is so sad that we have to distance ourselves from our own children. It is the most unnatural act for most parents. It takes times and a determination to have a better life for us, regardless of the behavior of our children. My difficult child was difficult from birth and the drugs, alcohol, all combined with feeling sorry for himself have led to poor choices. He has had many people help him and many opportunities to help himself. Like a true difficult child they want instanteuos results and never think they have a problem. Mine is content to spike his hair, dye it purple, and hang out as a band groupy. My heart goes out to the younger parents just starting on this journey. I wish I had the resources for support when I started that are available today. The sooner you accept the fact that it is completely out of your control the easier it gets. These children can not be parented like 'normal' children. They refuse to grow up and take responsibility for their own actions. You have to force them! ((huggs and blessings for us all and a peacful day, the holidays seem to be hard for us))) [/QUOTE]
