[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 65966, member: 1550"] Thanks, guys. Janet, I wish I could feel like I deserve credit, but, as Scott says, I wasn't there the first six years of his life so HE ALONE made himself who he is. He's done well financially because he is so bright. I may add, he never even went to college. He decided to start out four years ahead of everyone else, and now he's making more than his college grad buddies...(sigh). Yes, I know. I do try to cling to God as *I* know Him. It does help. I don't think my daughter in law is being "nice." I think her letters are "sticking it" letters. They are always "To Pam" from Karen and Scott (with her name always first--a little thing that irks me). I don't blame her at all though. He doesn't HAVE to do what she wants. That's on him. I don't push anything. There is no point and I have four other kids, two significant others of those kids, one grandchild-to-be and a hub to worry about. But this does break my heart. I think what hurts the most is that he doesn't care how anyone feels. According to him, he is not responsible for how his behavior makes other people feel. He does what he feels is right for him and if somebody feels bad, we have to deal with it. [/QUOTE]
