[QUOTE="Star*, post: 102335, member: 4964"] Everyone - THANK YOU so much. I think when you get this frustrated and tired of thinking the best therapy you can get is from friends who have understanding of what you are suffering through. Janet - I went to the *** web site, printed out the page and faxed it to the caseworkers office. Thanks so much for your insight. As far as trying to get him a place of his own or even thinking about paying for it? No. He's emotionally as mature as a 12 year old. As part of his condition of his probation he has to be "housed" somewhere - not alone. But you all had great suggestions. As far as sending him to TX? If I thought he could go that far? I would, but again - it would be like telling a 10-12 year old child to live on his own. Stands- I had never really noticed - but you're in SC too. Currently my son is near Greenville and his PO is there. We have asked the people of the home to press charges for damage to the house - NO - don't want the problem/publicity. We have asked them to ask the neighbors he stole bikes from them to press charges (I mean I am asking people to GET my son put back in prison for 6 years here - how insane does that sound?) I fear that he has done this acting out in an attempt to be sent home. It's the holidays - and he is probably thinking that means something for him so he should be home in my face to remind me he needs things/wants things. No No No, not HO Ho ho. Thanks for the advice and well wishes every one - isn't it something when you look forward to reading your post and it's responses more than anything you've done so far today? I think if I could take anti-depressants I would start now. Since I can't = I'm going to think happy, positive thoughts. Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
