O PG I am so so sorry.
I've written this before - but I feel like I am the "keeper of the flame" with difficult child with the "flame" being the easy child inside difficult child. I feel like so long as I can nurture that tiny little flame (even in secret) his real, good life will be there for him should he ever decide to give up his difficult child ways. When I see even a flicker of the easy child within difficult child - I fan and bellow that flame and hope it will catch hold...
and then I get hit upside the head with irrefutable evidence that the difficult child is in control. And it stings like heck...
{{{hugs}}} I guess as mom's, it's our job to never give up. Even when we detach, even when our difficult children have apparently given up on themselves. It hoovers.
