[QUOTE="KFld, post: 23135, member: 2442"] Sometimes we feel we need to give it just one more try and hope it works. As long as you stick to this being your last try and leaving it up to him from here out, then that is fine. If he doesn't do what he is supposed to and you find you want to give him one more last try, then that will be sending him the signal that you aren't really serious when you say, this is the last time. I remember the praying and hoping that difficult child would just make it out of highschool. Mine didn't attend his graduation, which really really bothered me at first, but 2 years later I realize the most important thing is that he graduated!! We need to really put things into perspective when it comes to a difficult child. There are many things we will miss them doing in life, but we have to decide which ones are really important. My difficult child not walking in his cap and gown will not effect his future at all, but not graduating would have. I have learned to do this often with him. I guess I already went through my mourning period of the events I have already and will miss, and it sounds like that is where you are at now. It will get better. I promise!! [/QUOTE]
