[QUOTE="pinevalley, post: 543924, member: 3710"] Thank you so much for all your words of encouragement. DDD: You had a perfect description of the justice system that it is arbitrary and capricious. This judge is going to make an arbitrary decision about difficult child, and on any given day her decision would probably be different. She is concerned that giving difficult child probation will not work, because he got arrested in the spring when he was out on bail. I can not guarantee that difficult child will stay clean, but I think that giving him probation with drug treatment will give him the best chance at success. RE: Thank you so much for your eloquent words. These prayers really help to keep me from going into panic mode about difficult child. Sig: You are right, that the last 5 months have proved to that difficult child is a survivor. I was sure that he would not last a week-end in jail, and he has coped with all this very well. difficult child was always one of those kids who thought that the rules did not apply to him, and that he could do anything he wanted and get away with it. I hope that being locked up for 5 months has taught him that he is an adult now, and he has to follow rules and laws. This board and by FA group has really helped me to cope these last few months. I don't like to talk to my friends about jail, and prisons and boot camp, etc, because they can't relate to all these problems. I know that everyone here understands the pain of being a parent of a difficult child, and we are all doing the very best that we can. [/QUOTE]
