My difficult child will be 34 next month. I've been dealing with his issues since he was 14.
This has got to be one of my favorite sayings. "Not my monkey not my circus" It's so true.
My difficult child has an IQ of 140, he is off the charts smart. He can read a book and retain it all, however he has zero common sense to temper his intelligence. He has so much potential but can never stick with anything. He is an amazing artist and used that for a while doing tattoo's but as with everyone who enters his life, he burned that bridge as well. This is part of what makes it so hard is he is so smart and capable but chooses to live the way he lives. You are right, it's his life to live.
Thanks for your input and good luck with the grandchild situation.
