[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 531098, member: 3388"] Terry, I'm so glad difficult child's therapist laid down the law!! I totally agree that there can't be a next time!! I vividly remember each and every time I had to call the police because of difficult child 1's violent behavior. One time I got a call from the police station to let me know they had difficult child 1. When I got there, I refused to take him home. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made. However, unlike your difficult child, difficult child 1 dreaded the psychiatric hospital more then anything. Like your difficult child, he quickly learned how to work the system but even so, was determined not to have to go back. We didn't have to do the juvie thing but, believe me, I was more then ready if necessary. I'm really impressed by how well you handled the therapist session. You are doing everything you can to help your difficult child, and while he doesn't see it now, I really believe, like you said, that down the road, he'll get it. There was a time when I also wondered if I would be alive to see the day and if I would even want to see it too. It took almost a year once difficult child 1 moved out before he was ready to spend time with me. When that day came, I was shocked by how happy I was, by how much I truly loved him, and yes, missed him too! It really does happen, and I hope and will pray, this happens to you. Hugs...
