[QUOTE="Star*, post: 157075, member: 4964"] Well I'm going to chime in a little cynical sounding here - But NOTHING said TOUGH to me like taking $750 plus out of my bank account for past due fines, and putting my house up for collateral on a bond - ONLY to be treated less than I deserved. If I had money it wouldn't have been such a crushing blow - but we don't have it, difficult child knew that and didn't care how he behaved after we got him out. Stands if I were you - I'd put that unopened letter in an envelope and mail it back to him. I did that with one of Dudes letters. Yes he was angry, no I did not worry about it. How are your other kids taking this? I ask because we "adopted" one of Dude's friends years ago and he is in Department of Juvenile Justice currently, but writes me and tells me that he is SO sorry for what Dude is putting me through, and that it makes HIM very angry. I never thought about how the other kids can be affected by difficult child siblings. He even apologized for me having to write him in jail. Did your 17 yo get to go to prom or is graduating? How is your daughter? I'm sure this isn't easy for any of you. If you are ABLE to walk away from this difficult child situation? Consider yourself very lucky it has only cost you $450. You absolutely know I keep you all in my prayers. Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
