[QUOTE="Im a Believer, post: 352714, member: 6448"] Thanks for all your replies ~ Nomad - You asked a good question ~ what encouraged my oldest difficult child to change? ~ Life! He has had a hard road ~ He was out of my life off and on for MANY years and within the past 2 years - he has put himself thru Tech College for HVAC and recently got an awesome job ~ He is living with us again - we offered - so he could save some money - but, he has "obeyed" all our rules - is respectful and so far it has been working (4 months now). Missy ~ My prayers are with you in regards to your son. {hugs} Every woman ~ Like you - my middle child needs me more - or at least that's my perception. He was abused by his father and I was always his protector. I have been thru this so many times with so many kids - you would think I would be immune by now. Like all of you ~ we know what we need to do - why is it so hard? I guess that's why they call it Tough Love ~ The tough part is on us - doesn't seem to effect them ~ Thanks for the support and encouraging words. [/QUOTE]
