[QUOTE="Fran, post: 569191, member: 3"] Esther, what a lovely gift from your difficult child. Niggling doubt will always be there for all of us. We judge the future based on past experiences, right? I find that having difficult child having a life of his own, saves him from being so miserable. It also helps having some distance between us. I am not over watching, over correcting and trying to teach. He is learning from his mistakes. I suspect the fact that your son is making it on his own gives him the self respect and confidence all young men need. Enjoy the good times with him and encourage his personal growth but make sure there is a return ticket. LOL. I no longer feel like a terrible mother because I handle difficult child better when there is some distance and some disengagement. It's what works for me. [/QUOTE]
