[QUOTE="Malika, post: 567323, member: 11227"] Oh yes, J is surely going to rub some people up the wrong way in his life. Thing is, I don't think I can do a damn thing about it. Since he was a tiny baby, literally, he has had this larger than life, gregarious, no-holds-barred personality where he seems generally happy with himself and unworried about the way the world perceives him. He largely does what he wants, accepting minimum control from adults. Nothing I have ever said or done makes any difference to that. I am sure I have some influence in certain ways but his basic core nature remains, like a force of nature... he will make his own way in life, I am quite sure of that. He's very bright, with a very practical kind of intelligence, sociable - I hope he will be alright. I expect this sounds rather defeatist or like I am taking a back seat but J NEVER was a child you could parent in the normal way and I think i now accept it. I feel like I am just going to accompany him along part of his journey and hope to steer him basically in the right direction... [/QUOTE]
