[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 756000, member: 15032"] Helpless I'm sorry to hear about this new development but maybe this is the best thing that can happen. Try to look at it that way. Our son was in many programs and did well and then would go back to being a rotten egg. Please try not to worry so much about him. It won't do him any good and it certainly won't do YOU any good. I am a worry wart so I know that is easier said than done! He is having to pay the consequences for his actions. As a mother of a difficult child that is now doing better - I can tell you that this is good. This is a good thing and not a bad thing. I had wished my son would get to this point so he would see hey if THIS is how you live then THIS is how you'll live!!! We had to teach him that ourselves by sending him away and THAT was really hard on us!! Sometimes BAD things have to happen before GOOD things can happen. I've read and heard of SO many stories of people getting their lives together after being locked up or having something traumatic happen to them that they brought on themselves. This could save his life. Nothing else made him change and he has had many opportunities. You have to grow a thick skin to keep your sanity. I know because that is what I had to do. Try to take care of yourself and your family. Your son knows you love him and that is all you can give him right now. :staystrong: [/QUOTE]
