[QUOTE="klmno, post: 139191, member: 3699"] That is really sad. When I testified to the judge about difficult child's issues, I compared it to a child going blind (among other things at different points). Anyway, I tried hard to make the point that it is a disappointment to the parent- not that we don't love them or want them anymore- but that they aren't able to live up to the potential we saw in them and that they can't have the life we wanted them to have. But, there is always a lingering hope with a difficult child that can't be there when someone dies. in my humble opinion. And, it seems difficult child's teach us rewards in other ways that we never expected. I think the difference is with a difficult child, it is a grief that is ongoing, but with a death, it is clearly over and we have to move on. Just a thought... [/QUOTE]
