[QUOTE="Tired out, post: 736803, member: 23103"] I have to keep telling myself that mine isn't a little kid anymore also! I think of the quick smile, the dimples and the sparkle in his eyes and the constant hugs of my little guy. He turned into a manipulative brat and now and angry, lying, stealing manipulative MAN. He is 21. he is supposed to be and act like a man! Even though your son has different issues than mine they are very close to the same age. You and I are much a like. We want everything to be ok for them and we will / would do anything to make it ok for them. BUT WE can't make it ok for them. THEY have to make it ok for them. I am sending you warm hugs and a soft pat on your shoulder. I keep hearing my bff say, "This too shall pass". Probably, just not fast enough. Oh and.. I totally get the embarrassment of his horrible behavior being public knowledge in a small town. Don't be fooled all families have a difficult person in their family, a lot just don't admit it. You walk past a home and think, "Wow, I bet they have a nice life". You find out later: they are getting divorced, or someone behind those windows has cancer or someone is getting arrested for embezzlement, or someone is a hitter, etc... every family has something going on. Some of us choose to face it and try to find help rather than hide it. [/QUOTE]
