[QUOTE="Shari, post: 439529, member: 1848"] I haven't been a part of many of the conversations you have been in, but I have read many, and I so hoped you would stick around. I think it helps us all to have people from varying relationships with the difficult child's in their lives. So I'm glad you stayed. Personally, with my darkest moments with my difficult children, the one thing, and sometimes the ONLY thing, that gets me through is the knowledge that if I can help another person through a similar rough spot with their child, then its not for naught, and all worthwhile. So, with your post, you've helped me to feel that in some little teeny tiny way, my mission has been accomplished. Thanks. :-) And if you truly never do see your difficult child again, the fact that you have chosen to stay and learn and, in turn, educate others about this life....Oh...where would the world be if everyone learned jsut a smidgen??? Thanks. Again. And you just never know what lies around the next bend. Especially in the world of difficult child's. As an adult, your nephew may remember your attempts to help, and may come to a point in his life that he wants to turn things around. The thing I learned first about dealing with difficult child's is that control is a myth. We have no control over another human being, ever. And that the only thing you can expect is the unexpected. Kudos to you. Glad you're here. [/QUOTE]
