[quote=Anonymous]My difficult SN DD is now 20 and away at college. She is still difficult, there is still drama. And I know there always will be. As I think about the course of her life, how, over and over, in different ways with different circumstances, I was reminded that she was different, and, difficult. So, to accept her as she is, involves a bit of loss of hope. Hope that she will "grow up" and evolve into a kinder, less self-centered person, or less dramatic, or whatever the issue is. So I think, OP, you are in the process of recognizing who your DD is. An often-overlooked step, which I think is essential to ending up with acceptance, is to mourn what you thought and hoped that your DD would be like. To sit with whatever it was that you hoped for, and mourn it. Then you can get on with working with the individual that you have. As you accept who they actually are, it becomes easier.[/quote]
