[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 665482, member: 17635"] COM, i read your post hours ago and have thought on it off and on all afternoon. My first thought was, [I]What a normal thing to do - go to a movie with your adult kid. How lucky! [/I] How many of us would love to have our Difficult Child ask to do something like that? I know I would. If my Difficult Child wanted to see a movie with me, well....I might faint. I am sorry it wasn't quite the experience you/any of us would have wanted. BUT, I am happy for you that it happened. To see a movie with your Difficult Child. Really, that is just downright awesome. My Difficult Child used to drink lots of those energy drinks. He may still; i wouldn't know. Your Difficult Child's actions sound more like normal kid behavior than Difficult Child behavior. Not pleasant for you, nor would it be fun for me. (Like you, a nap makes much more sense to me.) These young folks down those energy drinks; they just do. And, they always have earbuds in their ears. It's nuts. (I digress with my judging). But, they do! But, still, with all the not-perfectness of the experience, it sounds basically good. The[I] angsting[/I] may well be because of that energy drink. Like you, i have never had one. At my age, I'd fear a heart attack. So, I am rambling. I can see your son is not quite there, but he is way ahead of mine. And, it sounds so great that you tried this outing with your son. He's not there yet, but definitely getting there. Two steps forward, one step back. That seems to be what your son is doing---but consistently---so it sure looks like progress. SS [/QUOTE]
