[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 181686, member: 3626"] Janet, I know you've said in previous posts that you can't kick your sons to the door and I do understand that. So, that is not something I will suggest to you. We all do what is best for ourselves. While Cory lives with you, you do not help nor enable him. To me, that is important thing. You let him know right from wrong. You help him when deserves the help. Otherwise, you stand back and let the chips fall where they may. Your disengagement in all of this drama is truly remarkable. As I sai before, I used to be a GAL. I worked with quite a few teens who were on ankle bracelets. One was on house arrest but no bracelet (serious sensitivity issues). Most had Cory's attitude. They all ultimately ended up back in juvie. It took some longer than others, but they still put themselves back. The ones who understood this was a chance to show they cared, that they were willing to do the right thing as much as humanly possible were the kids who ended up graduating and turning their lives around. Quite honestly, not one of them succeeded in totally following the rules. However, the successful ones blew it once, got read the riot act by the PO or me or both and got the message. Personally, I think house arrest is a very special form of torture for all concerned. I'd like to think Cory will turn himself around but if he's back to smoking dope, it doesn't sound likely. I'm sorry -- for him, for you and the rest of his family and, most importantly, his daughter. HUGS [/QUOTE]
