[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 651263, member: 3419"] Welcome, Weary Mom. So sorry you had to join us, but so glad that you have. I hear you. I see myself in your shoes some day. It's just so strange, all the things that we teach our kids, and the dr appts, the school staff mtngs, the discipline, the rewards, and it seems that nothing matters. Every now and then, I read a report from a long-gone parent whose child is now in their 30s, and things have come around. Those notes and lives give me hope. And sometimes, all I have to hold onto are those notes. What is so frustration and mind-boggling is that we know that inside there somewhere are loving, capable, productive kids. You've seen it with your own--she got started in nursing school and was home, obeying your rules. ... And then. We keep working toward those good kids, somewhere deep inside there. And most of the time, we have to just let go and let the pieces fall. {{hugs}} [/QUOTE]
