[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 755711, member: 15032"] I think that adult children can be very selfish and self centered. We see that with our other two boys that are NOT difficult and took good paths. Neither of them have children yet so maybe that is when they will realize a parent's love and how much we have sacrificed for them. The older boys are both 33 now and no children yet. We are hoping they will have children but just not sure if they will (not ready/too selfish? who knows). They are not twins, they are my husbands and mine and are 7 months apart. Our youngest boy together is our Difficult Child. Last night our formerly Difficult Child that is turning it around came home from night school and said he got an 80% on his test. This was great news since this is a very hard class and the entire class struggles and to date while he has not failed any tests, this is his highest test score. We told him that we want him to know that we were proud of him that he has put everything into school, not missed any days and is taking it seriously. He told us that he has "failed enough". Wow that meant a lot coming from him and made us feel like he is truly "getting it" now. We just won't give up as long as he is moving forward even if it's not on our timing. [/QUOTE]
