[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 561984, member: 13558"] Signoria, You are not being paranoid at all, in my opinion. I have the same situation, this is a rural area and the 'fruit doesn't fall far from the tree' is even preached in the churches here. The families are highly blamed for not helping the difficult children. A prominent family here last month had a 39yo out of control male leading the local and state police on high speed chases resulting in an officer seriously hurt. He had stolen multiple vehicles and wrecked them and then steal another to get him to another state. He was arrested by an FBI (I think SWAT team) in another state. All of the talk around here was, 'why didn't his family help him before it got this out of control?' they just do not understand!!!! in my opinion, from gowing up here, the things this difficult child had been involved in had been covered up so much in the past because this was a 'good' family. This 39yo did not just start this out of control behavior all of a sudden! The drug and alcohol use did not just start that weekend! We have AA meetings here locally, but zero support groups for the family, and probably never will. I have felt all of my difficult child's life that I could have, should have done more and that is one reason it has taken me so long to Let Go and Let a Higher Power. I have finally come to accept that I did all I could and I can not do any more. Hopefully the 'their life - their choices - their responsibility' - will reach this area in the next century lol!!!!
