[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 623927, member: 15801"] Child, I so feel for you... our difficult children seem very similar.... dont know if you have gone and read my posts over the last several years.... but my son has been in many programs and kicked out of many (or walked out). I have wondered if he will ever "get it" and what will it take... and I have gone down the path of what did I do wrong. And like you I have found ways to go on living my life no matter what he is doing or going through.... and yet in the really bad times it is hard to keep picking up your head off the pillow and keep moving forward and to keep taking care of yourself. But that is what you have to keep doing because there really isnt any other option. And you can be there to love them, and support them in doing the right things... but you cant do it for them and you cant live their life for them and you cant make them make smart choices. We would love to but we cant. So I am really hoping this stint in jail wakes him up and that somehow the court system will say wait we need to get this kid long term help or we will lose him all together. As you know that is what finally happened with my son and this time he seems to have risen to the occasion and has been there 6 months and I am just praying and hoping he keeps on going. In the meantime I am enjoying my good nights sleep because I know there may come another day where I will sleep fitfully again. Thinking of you! TL Sent using ConductDisorders mobile app [/QUOTE]
