[QUOTE="AmericanGirl, post: 597884, member: 15812"] Thank you Sig...your words mean a lot to me. I first read about adult children of alcoholics (acoa) maybe 20 years ago. The book talked about how acoa learned hyper-vigilance. we had to. every time you opened that front door, you didn't know what you would find. It's the same with difficult children. You try to predict and prevent. Sure, sometimes that works but often it doesn't as we truly cannot come up with what they will do. Their actions are so far outside of range of probabilities it isn't even in the same universe some time. Thank you for reminding me of that. Everywhere I go, I look for him. Every thing brings up memories. Its a process. I'll remember your words and try to be still....thanks [/QUOTE]
