[QUOTE="Lil, post: 648254, member: 17309"] I understand this completely; the crushing disappointment. That's what it is. You have a child and you do your best and you want the best for them...you want them to succeed. Sometimes other parents have been your friends or relation and the kids are close in age and you get to see their FB posts about Eagle Scouts and Dean's list and this or that award. They're so PROUD...and you aren't. I remember once my son saying, "You never say you're proud of me." and my response was, "For what?" I feel awful for that but it was true. It's been the hardest thing for me, trying to let go of any expectations. Because if I have expectations, I only end up disappointed. [/QUOTE]
