[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 411445"] Thanks Scent of Cedar for your wisdom and experience. I hand't thought about how important that believe in them, that they can be a better person, that they can live a good life is. I struggle holding on to that belief because so often i don't see that better person now... but you know what I know that other people do. Our son is so shut down with us that he rarely shows really any part of himself to us.... but he does show it to others so his therapists see it, other people see the good person he can be. And we know from knowing him when he was little and different things that that person is in there somewhere. Yet when something happens that shows me once again his darker side it is hard for me to let my worry about that side go. I am getting better about being clear about what I need to do in situations and when it is time to say I have done what I can and now it is time to let it go.....but actually letting it go is harder for me to do. It still sits in the back of mind and bothers me and yet I know there is nothing more I can do. [/QUOTE]
