[QUOTE="KFld, post: 7708, member: 2442"] You are correct that if he were home, his last year of highschool would probably not have ended the way you had envisioned. He was getting into too much trouble at this point and it probably would have been a disaster. My difficult child was arrested for posession of heroin and went into detox 2 weeks before his highschool graduation. He went to an alternative ed highschool where he did extremeley well compared to how he would have done in a normal highschool, but he refused to attend his graduation ceremony because he knew everyone in the school knew about his addiction. At the time of his highschool graduation we were dealing with a full blown drug addiction while other parents were sitting in the stands watching their children walk in cap and gown and receive their diplomas. He went and picked his up a few days later. At the time it really really hurt because I felt I got jipped out of watching my difficult child, who I had worked so hard over the years to get through school!! walk and get his diploma. We have been through so much more important stuff since then, that has made me realise how unimportant that really is in the big scheme of life. Right now my difficult child is clean and living in a soberhouse and working full time. That is what is important now. [/QUOTE]
