[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 41757, member: 1436"] I still have some hope that one day my difficult child will be the person I know he can be. I see glimpses of that person from time to time, and I really like him. I get discouraged at times, but I also know that I have been his biggest advocate when he was doing the right thing. I have always made him accept the consequences for his choices. I think that's all we can do as parents. We can't "fix" anyone. I like Covey's habit---Be Proactive. We have to change how we react to things. I know difficult child is going to mess up from time to time; I can't prevent him from making stupid choices. I can't control him. But I can detach and let go of any guilt I have for his choices. [/QUOTE]
