    Update -- Been Awhile

    My son now has quite the colorful record sprinkled with misdemeanors and multiple felonies. That being said, it was the fear of going to jail for many many years that made him see the light. At this point, he is in a rehab and has a court date to see if and how much time he gets sentenced for...

    do u feel this way

    Yes, I have been on a break for awhile. Sometimes I do need to step away from the drama that we all experience and then come back...usually I have to come back, it's because I need help from the ppl here who completely understand where I've been and where I am going.

    It's falling apart

    I was wondering the same as ksm. I volunteer at a shelter that takes in families, and they help transition women into more permanent housing. I was utterly amazed by what this shelter does to help. I will pray for you as this is so difficult when our children don't have anywhere to live due to...

    It's Been Sometime Since I Posted-Son In Jail

    hi everyone! It has been sometime since I last posted. Yes, my son was in jail and I was on edge not knowing what was going on with him. I did visit him when I could though and did receive phone calls from him. He is slowly changing and it has been exciting to see the Lord work in his life...

    First Post: 23 year old Daughter Drains Our Bank and Driving Us Crazy

    Great advice from everyone. I remember slinking around the subjects like "it isn't my son but his bad friends" and the "he sells drugs but doesn't have a problem himself". And most important "He got caught because his friend's were criminals". These ppl here set me on the straight path and...

    What the heck could THIS be for???

    Unfortunate SWOT my mom was one of those types that would put my siblings and me in danger just to get at my dad and sadly enough, she almost succeeded a few times. If I would have told ppl her crazy plans when I was younger, I would not have been believed.

    Should I Be Worried With Son In Jail?

    Thank you for your replies bluebell and Tanya. I have finally received answers to everything and I go between feeling shocked and sad that my son was involved in such illegal activity under my nose. I mean goodness he lived with me when some of this stuff was going on. He is still in jail...

    lying

    Yes, lying seems to be a common theme amongst all of us. As a mom, it still hurts after being lied to for many years. Sometimes I think my son wants to believe his lies as much as he wants to manipulate me! But, as everyone said, you just let the lies go or you will spend way too much energy...

    Should I Be Worried With Son In Jail?

    As many of you remember, my son went to jail over 6 weeks ago. He has called his father and me both every day. Sometimes twice a day. He had to make some tough, and to me scary, decisions while in jail. He had to make these decisions with-o any advice from us bc we would not allow him to talk...

    Abusive teen

    Miss P, my heart and prayers are with you. Your story is really touching and definitely an example of what we deal with in society. Yours is more extreme but people think we are the ones that did something to bring out this behavior in our children. They think if the child is out of control...

    She's driving me crazy

    Zinnia....hello! Yes, sometimes it is hard to talk to others about how we feel. Does anyone other than the ppl on this site ever totally get what we are saying or feeling? Another thought about your daughter, she has to learn to be responsible for herself as you may not be around or healthy...

    Sick of my Adult Daughter

    I am sorry you feel bad. It is hard to admit "I am sick of my kid" but that is really how you feel and others think we should feel bad for saying it but I am with you! Sometimes we are really really sick of the garbage that we have to deal with! Hang in there. And yes, don't let her treat...

    Am I Expecting Way Too Much of My Son in Jail

    I am with you guys. If truth be told, my life has been 100% better since I had him leave back in February. I think I am a little sad but just very irritated that he still doesn't get it. The hard part was holding my tongue while he whined because I have given the speech "if you lay with dogs...

    Am I Expecting Way Too Much of My Son in Jail

    My son has been in jail for a little over a week now. He has been in trouble with the law multiple times and ironically, this time may not be his fault exactly. I had him leave our house and he moved in with his friend. There was a raid on the friend's house and everyone living there...

    shaking my head

    Teriobe...way to go! I am proud of you and hope some of that rubs off on me. As I mentioned, my son was just arrested Friday a week ago and I only talked to him once this week on Wednesday. I had to set up an account just so that he could call me...all of this is new to me. He hasn't called...

    Kinda concerned

    Ponygirl...I agree, it is such a long process that we all go through to disengage from our kids harmful ways. You seem to be a few steps ahead of me in this but as my son is now currently sitting in jail, maybe I am catching up? I haven't cried in days and I was able to concentrate and have a...
