[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 758011, member: 4152"] It was the very word “hope,” that brought me to therapy regarding my Difficult Child. I had lost hope. It was a loss. I gave 110 percent and it took a part of my soul. And I made somewhere between very little to no headway. So, no hope. You can’t make other people do what you think is the right or healthy thing. You can encourage, guide, do the carrot and stick Etc. But, in the end..they make their own personal choice. This lack of hope tore into my soul and brought me to my knees challenging my faith. At some point I had to do the proverbial “give it to Gxd,” taking my cue from AA. It brought relief. I do the best I can with our Difficult Child and I wouldn’t exactly say “hope” for the best. I have more of an “it is what it is” attitude. Over many many years, she has made very small inroads and Im grateful. It’s actually a powerful word for me with reference to my Difficult Child.excellent article. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
