[QUOTE="DDD, post: 583398, member: 35"] Since I am a far too experienced Grandma, may I suggest you consider changing the words that you use?? Yeah, I know, it is "more" role playing but wth. There is no need to upset In-Laws you love and who love your family. Perhaps you could avoid the subject as much as possible and focus on the positive [B]then[/B] when the subject comes up of where difficult child will live after he completes his school use a loving smile and tone of voice and say "we will be eager for him to test his wings as an adult" or "husband and I expect he will find a place that will allow him to enjoy life as an adult". Yeah, I know, the end goal is the same but if put in a positive light his grandparents will have time to absorb the idea that he will be an adult and he will be able to make choices and the whole family will support him. A much better picture than difficult child living on the streets begging for leftover McD's. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
