[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 599351, member: 1514"] I think I know what Susie is trying to say because I, like you, have 3 kids and while your difficult child isnt your youngest, he is your youngest son. Of course, Cory is my youngest child. That sort of bonds us. I think its really hard for some of us to cut those apron strings with our baby boys who really seem to need us so much. Especially when they can be such wonderful sons when they arent being difficult child's. Cory is an absolute joy when he isnt in difficult child mode. People adore him unless they really know him well. Even then they can overlook the bad because he is so charming. I also have that connection to Cory because I feel he is so much like me that I almost think I can know what he feels. I have come to realize that isnt always true. We are two different people and often he does things that I wouldnt do. I do think he is learning and has come so far and I think he will grow into a man that I wont have to worry about as much as I do but I do worry. we probably shouldnt be this enmeshed with them at this age. I have worked very hard to cut those strings. It has helped that he left home for a long time. I force myself not to call him to ask where he is. [/QUOTE]
