[QUOTE="Shari, post: 233020, member: 1848"] Ya know, I was thinking about this last night. My difficult child 1 wrote me the most amazing letter from boot camp. His grandparents said that some day he would thank me for sticking with him (I didn't have to). I figured he'd be 40, if ever. But I get a letter from boot in which HE thanked me for sticking with him, for beleiving in him enough to push him, and for being the parent he otherwise didn't have. He's not out of the woods. But he's making it for now, and every day he makes it is a day I breathe a little bit easier. But regardless of anything else, for at least a few hours on a Sunday afternoon back in 2007, my difficult child 1, my son, thanked me for my effort, and that made all the bs from everyone else suddenly worth it.
