[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 500971, member: 84"] ((((hugs))))) Yes, we totally get it. We are parents, not super heros. It certainly sounds like you tried everything you could try and went over and beyond. It's not your fault. We do the best we can with what we know at the time. We're human. But often our best is not enough with a difficult child child, because the desire has to come from them as well. They have to have the desire to be a stable functioning adult, and be willing to take the steps to get to that point. It's not something you can fix for them. Your difficult child is still quite young yet. He has some maturing to do and some life lessons to learn. Let him learn those lessons. Yes, it's hard to do. But it's time now to put your main focus onto you and your husband. difficult child is an adult now and you can no longer control the choices he makes. Shifting gears from parenting a child to parenting an adult child takes time and practice. I'm glad you found us. ((((hugs)))) [/QUOTE]
