[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 531963, member: 11791"] Malika - there aren't many of us in life that come thru truly "unscathed".... It will be a good thing if you can just get J to the point of a productive, socially acceptable adult with a life of his own - and hopefully, still have a good relationship with you... I had to re-evaluate my choice of words, when it came to my own thoughts about raising a difficult child. Because I was getting hung up on my own words and the ideas and pictures that I internalized with those words. Know what I mean?? Especially for those of us who love words on some level, we can mess with our own heads. Not that different words will affect the reality of J, but it might affect your approach... it did for me.
