[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 562357, member: 3907"] WTWE, this quote really struck me. It sounds so much like me at your difficult child's age. I was a near-difficult child throughout my teens, but when I left home at 17 I became an (almost) model citizen. All of a sudden it was up to me to find a place to live, pay bills, buy groceries, cook, look after my health, blah blah blah. It made me realize that, when I had someone to rely on to do the heavy lifting for me I would just hand over all responsibility, such as getting blind-drunk at parties, knowing my older brother or cousins would make sure I got home safely. When I was on my own, it was all up to me and the instant responsibility did me a world of good. I hope that you have a similar experience with your difficult child. Taking a small step back might be the best thing you can do for him. Trinity [/QUOTE]
