[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 464658, member: 1233"] I know how hard it is when things are going badly to remember that a good outcome is possible. I spent more than a few years worrying that Wiz' future would mostly be prison because his violent behaviors and obsessions. Glad that we can keep that light shining at the end of the tunnel. by the way, Wiz recently told husband that while he hated what we did when things were bad, sending him to a psychiatric hospital for 4 months, being so strict, limiting his electronic access, all the doctor appts and therapy appts, etc..., he is very grateful that we did it ALL, including removing him from our home at age 14. Now almost 20, he actually said out loud that if we hadn't he would probably be in prison or dead because his own violence to others got it turned on him or because he did something so bad that he couldn't live with it and killed himself. I have heard it from him in letters, and n round-about ways, but he has never before said it to husband. So they CAN mature and grow past it, and while it is so hard when it is bad, there can be positive results. Even if there are not, everyone here played a role in Wiz' current success and happiness. Without this family, my in real life family would be in a far worse place than we are. Even the newbies, because I was a newbie myself. [/QUOTE]
